CARBON NEUTRAL
We offset any carbon emission from this already low energy production process.
• Production of these mailers is solar-powered and uses no water, acids or bleaches. It's also 'zero waste' because all off-cuts can be put 'back in to the pot' and recycled.

Gum Drop
Gum Drop coffee delivers a vibrant explosion of Apricots, honeydew melon, cherries, and papaya, evolving into a delightful blend of light brown sugar and dates. It's a lively celebration of juicy, sweet fruit flavors reminiscent of old-school fruit-filled candies. If you crave a coffee that's brilliantly balanced with intense fruitiness, Gum Drop is your love song to coffee decadence in fruit and candy form, but it's not for those seeking chocolate, caramel, or nutty notes.

Countries Of Origin In The Blend: Costa Rica and Guatemala
Preparation Style: Filter and Espresso
Our approach to both sourcing and roasting is that every coffee has to be good enough to stand on its own. No blenders, no base coffees, no filler. We take that same approach to roasting and preparation methods. All of our coffees are excellent in nearly every brew method from pour over to espresso.
That being said we have our preferences and so we label our coffees with Espresso, Filter or Omni as a quick way to guide you.

Proportional Pricing
Out of the $400 billion coffee industry, a meager 5% stays where it's grown, leaving farmers with crumbs. At Torque, we're rewriting this injustice. Our radical approach ensures equity for coffee producers, shifting power dynamics.
Torque Coffees is transforming the coffee industry with Proportional Pricing©, a simple, transparent system that ensures at least 20% of the retail price of every coffee remains in the country of origin. Unlike traditional models that leave producers with scraps, Torque links their earnings directly to the coffee’s retail value, giving them a fairer share. No hidden fees, no complex formulas or giveback schemes—just clear, upfront equity for the people who grow your coffee. By reverse-engineering the supply chain, Torque is creating a fairer system where both producers and consumers know exactly how much value returns to origin.
We're breaking norms, building a fairer future. Torque Coffees reverse-engineered the chain, advocating for a balanced, equitable industry. It's time to empower those who make your coffee. Together, let's dismantle inequality in the coffee world.
Sustainability Info
Since we are all on the consumption end of things we can never get to carbon neutral without stealing the carbon positive from coffee farmers. So instead of aiming for a negative, we are striving to destroy less and be as carbon beautiful as we can.

Let customers speak for us
More than coffee
Torque coffee has amazing quality coffee. The decaf drop is the best decaf I have tried. Perfect flavor and just a beautiful color. But more than that they offer support and education that I never expected. I am forever a Torque customer and can't wait to share this product with my customers. Thank you for all of your help and support Torque.

Espresso Centenario - Edwin Martinez, Guatemala
Delicious. Flat out.
I was wrapped up in many things all at one time, including two overlapping live conversation, with my cup in front of me. I stopped. Full stop stopped because the coffee was so good. I just enjoyed the moment.

Honey Drop
Balanced sweet
I primarily make espresso and long blacks. This coffee stands out as sweet and balanced. Easy to dial in for a lighter single origin. Overall it’s a very nice coffee that shows it’s been cared for every step along its path to me.

La Perla Negra Black Honey - Costa Rica
Just WOW! I’ve tried a lot of Torque Coffees, and other coffee brands, and La Perla Negra Black Honey is by far the best! I don’t know how this bean hasn’t won a ton of awards, it’s so freaking good! The aroma and taste are unique, complex, delicious, and addictive!
