Torque Coffee

About This Coffee

A natural processed decaffeinated coffee from the Rotheca Project in Burundi, processed through the Kigobe Washing Station which serves the Tugwizikawa cooperative of approximately 600 smallholder farmers. The beans undergo a long, slow raised bed drying process imparting sweet fruit notes, and are decaffeinated using the Swiss Water Decaf method to preserve these characteristics.

Torque Coffee

Nanelle and Andy Newbom founded Torque Coffee in San Diego in 2022, bringing roughly 25 years of combined experience in roasting, green coffee sales, and specialty coffee organizations, including co founding the Barista Guild of America. Nanelle handles 100 percent of the roasting on a Diedrich IR5, and no coffee leaves the roastery more than 48 hours after it was roasted. Torque operates a Proportional Pricing model in which producers receive a fixed percentage of the retail price: 20 percent on single bag purchases and 35 percent on wholesale. All paper products are recycled, FSC certified, and home compostable, wholesale deliveries use reusable canisters, and shipping mailers are made from limestone quarry waste. The roastery has earned multiple Golden Bean Awards.
