NEW RELEASES
FARM & FORAGE 2025
LOST CREEK FARM X STONE TOWER
We paired the uncompromising passion of Stone Tower Coffee Roasters with Lost Creek Farm’s Mission to celebrate story-rich mountain cuisine. From its origins in the Highlands of Peru, Costa Rica, and Honduras — to kitchens in the West Virginia Hills — this coffee combines taste and tradition in every sip.
This collaboration is a testament to the magic that unfolds when the Appalachian fields and forests inspire us, and our creative visions align. It speaks to shared passions and genuine partnerships forged around the flavors and places we love.
IMPERIUM
Stone Tower currently stands tall as the single biggest supporter of Dionicio's coffee in North America. We recognize the excellence of his farm, forging a partnership built on mutual respect and a shared love for great coffee.
Dionicio’s family has poured their hearts and souls into Finca La Encañada since his father acquired the land back in the 1970s. Today, his mother tends to the farm, where a lively mix of chickens, ducks, and faithful farm dogs roam freely alongside dedicated workers caring for the sprawling coffee plantations stretching over 12 hectares. It's a place where the vibrant nature and the warmth of family converge to create something truly special.
PILLOW TALK • HALF CAF
Say hello to Pillow Talk, our first Half Caf blend. It’s built for folks who want a tasty cup after 3 p.m. without the wide-awake side effects.
ORIGIN UNKNOWN
Origin Unknown is our way of honoring the imperfect. It’s a rotating selection of coffees that, for one reason or another, can’t be traced back to a single origin or farm. What they can offer is a rich, surprising, and still satisfying cup — crafted with care, roasted with experience, and made available at a very reasonable discounted price.
HONDURAN COFFEE SERIES
OVIDIO GOMEZ
Ovidio, a native of La Union Lempira, entered the coffee business through his father's ventures in trading and farming. At 19, he moved to Santa Barbara, met his wife, and briefly returned to Lempira before moving back due to limited job opportunities. In 1995, they discovered that an inherited property had been sold. Ovidio worked as a day laborer on coffee farms, earning his father-in-law's trust and, eventually, land. He began planting coffee, including Bourbon varieties, and expanded his farms over the years. Today, Ovidio and his family maintain high-quality coffee production from Las Flores village in Santa Barbara Mountain, a region known for its rich coffee cultivation history.
JOSE SANTOS GONZALES
Jose transitioned from a clothing factory job to coffee farming, inspired by his grandfather. Eight years ago, he purchased land and started a coffee nursery, eventually dedicating himself fully to the farm. Initially struggling with conventional coffee, a friend introduced him to specialty coffee. With support from the San Vicente mill, he began producing micro-lots three years ago, significantly improving his situation.
This is our fourth year purchasing coffee from Jose, who grows Pacas, Catimor, and Geisha on his beautiful plot on Santa Barbara Mountain.

ABOUT US
"QUALITY DOESN'T SHOW UP UNINVITED"
"We work in coffee because we believe it offers opportunities for two of the most rewarding experiences a person can have in life: self-improvement through the mastery of a skill, and fostering relationships with other people. Our aim is to source, roast, and brew the best coffee possible, while sharing that great coffee with great people. We break our aims down further into the three categories that constitute the pillars that make good coffee possible."
Sourcing: Our belief is that the hardest and most important work in the coffee supply chain is done by coffee producers. Like a chef could not create a decent meal with unripe and less than fresh ingredients, roasters, too, are useless without high quality green coffee. We rely on the good people who live where good coffee production is possible and we seek to pay them fair prices for their invaluable part in the supply chain.
Roasting: To us, roasting is a process of translation. To translate the work of the coffee producer into something consumable for the customer. But like any good translation, it must stay true to the authors original intent. So, we aim to minimize roast imbued flavors, and maximize those present already within the bean, just waiting for a door to be opened.
Brewing: Making coffee doesn’t have to be overly complicated and part of our aim is to offer coffees that lend themselves to simple brewing, not needing the stars to align to get a good cup. Still, mastering consistency and having knowledge of variables available to change can minimize the amount of wasted brews. We aim to give our baristas and customers the tools to enjoy as many cups as they brew.
