Larry's Beans

Abel, a local coffee farmer we met on our travels in East Timor, with his friend Maria in front of his home-made processing machine.

Our Purpose in Life is to concoct wondrously luscious works of coffee and make the world better at the same time.

We slow roast in ridiculously small batches to bring out every rich layer of indigenous flavor.

100% of our coffee is Fair Trade, Shade Grown and Organic or Transitional Organic. (Our Organic and Fair Trade practices are certified and audited by Quality Certification Services.)

We honor the work of our farming partners by transforming their extraordinary beans into marvelous coffees.

Larry's Beans is a proud sponsor of the Carolina Roller Girls. Check em out - they're smokin'. For more fair-playing, fast-paced fun, see our home movies.

BUT THAT AIN'T ALL FOLKS.

Making the world better goes way beyond coffee. So we've green-o-vated our roasting plant with passive solar, wind-powered vents, rainwater harvesting, fruit bushes and even dual flush toilets. We deliver locally with recycled veggie oil. We operate Raleigh's only gasoline-free 100% biodiesel pump. And, to get other folks up to speed, we created sustainability-school.org
