If you are looking for fresh roasted coffee that benefits coffee growing communities, you have come to the right place. Hemisphere Coffee Roasters is passionate about the two natures of coffee: Place & People.

Place: Coffee is a product of it's environment. It's altitude on the mountain, the soil conditions, annual weather patterns, and variety of plant all effect the quality and unique flavor profile of the bean. 

People: Every bean is handpicked by real, live, breathing people; people who have hopes, fears and dreams. Twenty five million families derive their major living from the production of coffee, and we are dedicated to helping as many as we can. Our business model is not through hand-outs, but a hand-UP, through direct-trade relationships. This enables thriving communities; Good coffee doing good!

The Importance of Direct Trade

  • DIRECT-TRADE PUTS THE BUYER IN TOUCH WITH COMMUNITY NEEDS

    When coffee prices are low the entire
    community is suffering. When a roaster deals directly with the farmer, it is like being a part of the solution. You can be the
    channel of blessing to the entire community.

  • DIRECT TRADE HAS THE BUYER NEGOTIATING FROM EQUALITY & TRANSPARENCY

    We need the farmer. In Direct-Trade relationships this is made very clear. The farmer produces what we cannot produce. Why should we, or the New York Board of Trade dictate what the farmer should get paid? He needs me and I need him. We should relate this way together.

  • DIRECT-TRADE COFFEE IS NATURALLY TRACEABLE

    We have a vicarious relationship to the farmer who grew our morning cup because our coffee is sourced in a method that
    lends itself to that. For some people, no big deal. In this increasingly electronic and social media world, it’s a big deal!

  • DIRECT-TRADE CAN ENSURE A TRULY GREAT COFFEE

    Human effort is the most critical component to producing great coffee. The coffee farmer that produces award winning, high-scoring coffee deserves the best price possible and individual recognition. Direct-trade allows us to do that.

Welcome to our Shop

Our roasting facility is located on the edge of the Village of Mechanicsburg. We roast in batches of 33 pounds each on a Sivetz hot air fluid bed roaster as well as small, artisan batches on a IR-12 Deidrich drum roaster. We roast to order and ship in 2-3 days. All coffee is packaged in heavy foil lined bags equipped with resealable zippers and a one-way valve to preserve freshness. For several days after coffee is roasted, it produces carbon dioxide wherein all the aroma and freshness reside. This special air-tight bag enables you to place your coffee in the freezer, which stops the degassing and aging process or your fresh-roasted coffee. You can open the bag, take out what you need and return it to the freezer. You can also order smaller amounts or pick up your coffee during retail or wholesale hours.
