About Us
Our Story
Hi, I'm Valerie — the founder and owner-operator behind B's Great Coffee and Tea. What started as a deep personal love for a truly great cup of coffee (and the perfect pot of tea) grew into something I couldn't keep to myself. I started B's Great Coffee and Tea because I believe everyone deserves access to specialty-grade coffee and tea that's been sourced with care, handled with intention, and delivered fresh to your door.
Running this store as a one-person operation means I'm involved in every decision — from which beans make the cut to how your order is packaged. That's not a limitation; it's a promise. When you shop here, you're not dealing with a faceless warehouse. You're buying from someone who genuinely cares about what's in your cup.
Our Sourcing Philosophy
We don't settle for average, and we don't think you should either. Every coffee and tea we carry is selected for its origin story, flavor profile, and the quality standards of the farms and producers behind it. We work with trusted specialty roasters and suppliers who share our commitment to:
- Traceability — knowing where every bean and leaf comes from
- Quality over quantity — curating a focused selection rather than overwhelming you with options
- Freshness — so what arrives at your door is at its peak, not sitting in a warehouse for months
Specialty coffee is graded on a 100-point scale — we only carry coffees that score 80 points or above. That's the difference between a cup that's just fine and one that genuinely surprises you.
Why Coffee and Tea?
Coffee and tea are two of the world's oldest rituals. They're how we start our mornings, how we slow down in the afternoon, and how we connect with the people we love. At B's Great Coffee and Tea, we take that seriously.
Whether you're a pour-over purist, a cold brew devotee, or someone who finds peace in a quiet cup of loose-leaf tea — we're here to make that moment better. Our goal is simple: bring you the best, make it easy to find, and stand behind everything we sell.
Our Promise to You
We're a small business, and we know you have choices. When you choose B's Great Coffee and Tea, you're supporting a real person with a real passion for this craft. If you ever have a question about a product, an order, or just want to talk coffee — reach out. We'd love to hear from you.
