So tired, not much to say, we’ll let the pictures speak for us. Here’s a few snap shots of our recent hard work:

Why choose Drew’s Brews? There are many great roasting companies out there to choose from, but let’s talk about why we think Drew’s coffee is well, awesome!

We, like many consumers are concerned with buying organic and fair trade coffees because we deeply believe these ideals are right. However, there are many other coffees that may not specifically fall under these stringently labeled categories. One of the coffee types that doesn’t always fall under the organic or fair trade labels is estate coffee, these are coffee beans from a singular farm vs. a cooperative of farmers, or the trademark name of an exporter, importer, or roaster. Estate coffees represent the hard work and uniqueness of a specific farm. Most estate farms grow organic, but a lot are not able to slap the official organic label on their beans due to the high costs associated with the certification process.

Drew’s Brews uses many estate coffees because of the wider selection, finer qualities of small batches, and it is the better thing to do because of a closer relationship with the farmers.

Often, due to the closer relationship in estate coffees between the purchaser and grower the coffee farmers are paid higher than what would be the “fair trade” price.

Drew and estate coffee buyers have many choices when purchasing. Estate farmers must be competitive, they must sell their coffee for the highest price to remain viable. They are more motivated to produce a superior crop than a cooperative farm who is paid the same price regardless of quality because they are not highly competing with other farms. Superior crop, superior coffee, which in turn means awesome flavor in your cup!

Drew is a true craftsman at roasting, and lucky for all of us, he is a local Nashvillian. We want to support local businesses that affect our local economy. Crema wants to know where our coffee comes from, when it was roasted, why it was roasted a certain way, and how to best translate that to our favorite people, you!

Thus, we have chosen Master Drew. You’ll never meet another person more passionate, more knowledgeable about coffee than Drew.

We’re making progress! Soon, very soon you’ll be sipping lattes and pounding espresso shots on this very bar. Here, our expert, expertly installs a shelf. These shelves will display delicious chocolate and hand-crafted coffee beans from around the world. Very important tasks for our recycled wooden shelves.
