Discover Dope Coffee: More Than Just a Brew

Dope Coffee isn’t just another coffee brand; it’s a movement. Nestled in the vibrant heart of Atlanta, we have rapidly become a force to be reckoned with in America’s specialty coffee scene. But this brand is about more than exceptional coffee—a celebration of culture, a fusion of Hip Hop artistry, and a beacon for Black entrepreneurship.

The Birth of a Cultural Icon

Our brand was founded by visionaries who understood that coffee could be more than a morning pick-me-up. Michael Loyd, CEO and Co-Founder, knew that the industry was ripe for innovation—an industry that, for too long, lacked representation and cultural depth. It was born out of a desire to change that narrative, to bring something fresh and exciting to the market, while simultaneously uplifting Black culture.

From its inception, we set out to bridge the worlds of coffee, Hip-Hop, and culture, crafting a brand that resonates deeply with its community. The company’s mission is clear: elevate and celebrate Black culture while serving great coffee to great people. This mission isn’t just a tagline; it’s the heartbeat of everything we do.

The Dope Difference

What sets us apart from other brands? It combines quality, authenticity, and a deep commitment to cultural expression. Each cup of Dope Coffee is more than just a beverage—it’s an experience, a reflection of the vibrant cultures that inspire it. The beans are carefully sourced from East Africa, a region renowned for producing some of the world’s finest coffee. This dedication to quality is a key reason why we have garnered a loyal following, both in Atlanta and across the country.

But it’s not just about the coffee. Ours is a brand that champions authenticity. In an industry where cookie-cutter brands are the norm, we stand out with its unapologetic embrace of Black culture and its roots in Hip-Hop. This is a brand that knows who it is and isn’t afraid to show it. The result? A growing community of customers who don’t just love the coffee—they believe in the brand’s mission.

Pushing the Boundaries

Dope Coffee isn’t content with just being a trendsetter. The company has big plans to continue its growth and expand its impact. With a focus on establishing a robust B2B sales department, launching targeted digital media campaigns, and expanding its manufacturing capabilities, we are poised to become a household name in specialty coffee.

Moreover, the brand is deeply invested in giving back to the communities it serves. By partnering with Black businesses and encouraging entrepreneurship, Dope Coffee is not just selling coffee; it’s creating opportunities and fostering economic growth in underserved communities.

Experience the Essence of Organic Guatemalan Coffee

When you pour a cup of Organic Guatemalan Coffee, you’re not just enjoying a beverage—you’re embarking on a journey through the rich landscapes of Guatemala, where coffee farming is an art form. Our 12oz Organic Guatemalan Coffee is a full medium roast made from the finest Arabica beans, offering a bold and complex flavor that speaks to both tradition and innovation.

Behind every cup of our Organic Guatemalan coffee is a narrative steeped in history, much like the story of Crispus Attucks—a figure known for his courage and spirit. This coffee is a celebration of that same boldness, with its deep, earthy cocoa notes and subtle hints of floral undertones. Each sip is a reminder of the meticulous care that goes into crafting such a distinctive flavor profile.

The coffee beans used in this blend are of the SHB (Strictly Hard Bean) variety, grown at elevations between 1,600 and 1,700 meters. This high-altitude cultivation is crucial as it allows the beans to mature slowly, resulting in a richer, more nuanced taste. The beans are harvested during Guatemala’s peak coffee season, from November to April, ensuring that only the best cherries make it to your cup.

Our Organic Guatemalan Coffee is more than just a product; it’s a testament to sustainable farming and fair trade practices. The beans are sourced from FECCEG (Federacion Comercializadora de Cafe Especial de Guatemala), a cooperative that represents over 1,000 smallholder producers. These farmers, a third of whom are women, are dedicated to producing coffee in a way that respects both the environment and the people who cultivate it.

The journey of our coffee begins with careful handpicking of the ripest coffee cherries. These cherries then undergo a traditional washing process, followed by a natural drying phase on raised beds under the Guatemalan sun. This meticulous process, combined with the high-altitude growing conditions, ensures that the beans develop a complex flavor that is both bold and smooth.

Once the beans arrive in Atlanta, Georgia, they are air-roasted to bring out the best taste. Our roasting process is designed to preserve the natural flavors of the coffee while enhancing its inherent qualities. The result is a full medium roast that perfectly balances the boldness of the beans with the subtleties of their flavor profile.

Choosing our Organic Guatemalan Coffee means choosing a product that is USDA Organic, Fair Trade certified, and 100% natural. It’s a coffee that you can trace back to its roots, with every step of the process designed to ensure sustainability and quality. The fully traceable ingredients mean you can enjoy your coffee with the peace of mind that it was grown and processed with care for both the environment and the farmers.

Moreover, this coffee is rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals, making it not just a treat for your taste buds but also a beneficial addition to your diet. Paired with a balanced lifestyle, it can enhance your mood and overall well-being.

To truly experience the full spectrum of flavors, we recommend following a few simple steps. Start by pre-infusing the coffee grounds for 20 seconds to unlock their full potential. Use 15g of ground coffee with 277g of water, and let it brew for about 3.5 minutes. The result will be a cup of coffee that captures the essence of Guatemala’s finest beans—bold, flavorful, and undeniably satisfying.

In every cup of our Organic Guatemalan Coffee, you’ll find the dedication to quality, tradition, and sustainability that defines our brand. It’s more than just coffee—it’s a journey, a story, and a tribute to the bold spirit that makes each day worth savoring.

Tanzania Peaberry: A Dark Roast for the Creative Soul

Immerse yourself in the rich flavors of our Tanzania Peaberry Dark Roast, a coffee that is as unique as it is bold. Sourced from the Southern Highlands of East Africa, this coffee is a true celebration of creativity, offering a sensory experience that transports you to the heart of Tanzania’s coffee-growing regions.

Peaberry coffee is a rare gem in the world of coffee beans. Unlike regular coffee beans, which typically come in pairs within a coffee cherry, a peaberry is a single, rounded bean. This unique formation results from a natural mutation during the pollination process, making peaberries smaller, denser, and more concentrated in flavor. This distinction is what gives Tanzania Peaberry its remarkable depth and complexity, making it a favorite among coffee connoisseurs.

When you brew a cup of Tanzania Peaberry, you’re not just making coffee—you’re creating an experience. The dark roast enhances the natural sweetness of the bean, bringing out rich berry notes with a floral undertone. This coffee is full-bodied, with a pronounced acidity that adds a bright and lively character to each sip. It’s a flavor profile that is both sophisticated and approachable, perfect for those who appreciate a well-crafted cup.

The name “Korongo,” meaning Flamingo in Swahili, reflects the elegance and vibrancy of this coffee. Much like the flamingos that grace the landscapes of Tanzania, our Peaberry coffee is graceful yet bold, offering a unique and memorable experience with every cup. The dark roast ensures a never-bitter finish, making it an ideal choice for those who prefer their coffee strong yet smooth.

Our Tanzania Peaberry coffee is not just about great taste—it’s also about responsible sourcing. Certified by the Rainforest Alliance (RFA), this coffee is grown using sustainable farming practices that protect both the environment and the livelihoods of the farmers. The beans are cultivated through intercropping methods, where coffee plants are grown alongside other crops like corn, beans, sunflower, and ginger. This approach not only enriches the soil but also supports the biodiversity of the region.

Each peaberry cherry is meticulously hand-harvested, ensuring that only the ripest fruits are selected. The cherries then undergo a fully washed processing method, which involves fermentation to remove the pulp, followed by drying on raised beds for 14 to 20 days. This careful handling preserves the beans’ unique qualities, resulting in a coffee that is both rich in flavor and consistent in quality.

Once the beans arrive in Atlanta, Georgia, they are air-roasted to make them taste heavenly. Our roasting process is designed to enhance the natural characteristics of the peaberry, creating a dark roast that is bold, smooth, and never bitter. This attention to detail is what makes our Tanzania Peaberry a standout choice for coffee lovers who appreciate a deeper, more complex flavor.

Choosing our Tanzania Peaberry coffee means choosing a product that is 100% natural, plant-based, and fully traceable. Every step of the production process is designed with sustainability in mind, from the way the beans are grown to the way they are roasted. This commitment to quality and ethical practices ensures that you can enjoy your coffee with a clear conscience, knowing that it supports both the environment and the people who produce it.

Beyond its exceptional taste, Tanzania Peaberry is also packed with health benefits. Rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals, this coffee can be a valuable addition to a balanced diet, helping to boost your mood and support overall well-being. For the best flavor extraction, we recommend pre-infusing the coffee grounds for 20 seconds, using 15g of ground coffee with 277g of water, and brewing for 3.5 minutes.

In every cup of Tanzania Peaberry, you’ll find a perfect blend of artistry, tradition, and sustainability—a coffee that not only tastes great but also tells a story. Whether you’re spinning a Coltrane record or simply enjoying a quiet moment, this is the coffee that will elevate your experience.
