It is currently composed of a washed Honduras and a washed Tanzania Peaberry. Expect rich chocolates and sweet notes of berries.

Now available on espresso and retail.

What people say

Coffee & Tea Collective is a coffee shop in San Diego that has been serving the community since 2010. The establishment was created with the intention of bringing people together and creating an experience that would be memorable for everyone. The cafe's design is simple yet elegant, providing a blank canvas for the community to come together and enjoy their coffee and tea.

One of the things that sets Coffee & Tea Collective apart from other coffee shops is their commitment to sourcing high-quality coffee beans. They work closely with importers who travel to the source to bring them fresh and seasonal coffees. After tasting up to 20 different coffees from one single country of origin, they select a few stand-out coffees that best represent the origin characteristic: land, variety, and season.

The roasting process at Coffee & Tea Collective is also unique. They roast their coffees lightly, putting more emphasis on the origin characteristic and relying less on roast characteristic. This results in balanced flavor, sweetness, and acidity inherent to each country of origin.

Finally, brewing great coffee requires the right tools and education, which Coffee & Tea Collective provides to its staff. This ensures that every cup of coffee or tea served is of the highest quality possible.

Overall, Coffee & Tea Collective is a must-visit for anyone looking for a great cup of coffee or tea in San Diego. Their commitment to sourcing high-quality beans, unique roasting process, and dedication to education make them stand out from other cafes in the area.
