Our Approach
Discover light & medium roast, fruit-forward expressive coffees that shine with sweetness, clarity, and vibrant expression. At Torque Coffees, every roast—blend or single origin—is crafted with precision and purpose. And with our 20% Remain at Origin model, you’re not just tasting incredible coffee—you’re fueling radical fairness for the producers who make it possible.
All of our coffees have notes grouping each coffee based on these four attributes. And each coffee card has sliders with the relative scale of each. Torque Compositions (our Drops) are designed to consistently deliver each quadrants flavor profile even as the coffees in the blend change.

Understanding Single Origins
Torque's Single Origins category emphasizes experimental processing techniques including double anaerobic fermentation (BomBón), extended natural-process sun-drying (Perla Negra), and hybrid cultivar development (Hybrid 17, Maracaturra). All coffees maintain Torque's Proportional Pricing© model ensuring 20% of retail price returns to origin—significantly exceeding industry standard (5-10%). The collection prioritizes long-term producer partnerships: Francisca Cubillo (Costa Rica, partner since 2009), Juan Diego De La Cerda (Guatemala), Faysel Yonnis (Ethiopia), and Jhoan Vergara/Nestor Lasso (Colombia, partner since 2025). Roast profiles target preservation of hygroscopic volatile compounds and complex acidity structures, with end temperatures typically terminating pre-second crack to maintain fruit-forward expression.
