The Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf has been importing, roasting, and retailing gourmet coffee since 1963. They import all their coffees directly from coffee-growing countries, around the world including Brazil, Costa Rica, Colombia, Kenya and Sumatra.
Importing directly from the plantations enable them to obtain the finest quality coffees available from each origin country. Regardless of where the coffees come from, there are two factors that determine the quality : the altitude at which the coffee is grown and the preparation of the beans after they are picked.
They offer only the finest grades of coffee from specially selected estates. These estates' coffee beans are grown at the highest altitudes and are specially prepared European-style, double hand-picked and polished to ensure that only the best beans make it to your cup.
"Fresh Roasts Daily" has been their motto sonce their founders, Herbert and Mona Hyman roasted coffee in the back room of their first store in Brentwood, California.
