Split Rock Coffee was founded with this simple idea: bring the high
quality coffee usually found only in coffee houses to offices and
retail customers.
Although we are a new company, our staff brings years of experience
in the coffee industry. Our veteran coffee buyer has worked for
twenty years in the specialty coffee market on behalf of a
successful chain of coffee shops, as well as a wholesale, retail,
and office coffee company. We work closely with a Midwest coffee
importer that is a leader in the global specialty coffee industry.
We follow the philosophy of purchasing coffees that are in season
and then blending them to bring our customers the freshest beans
available. Split Rock coffee is roasted by a Minnesota master
roaster, who balances the art and science of roasting fine coffee
that comes from over 25 years of experience. Our distribution
partner is a paper and packaging supply company that has been
serving businesses in Minnesota for over one hundred years.
The journey a coffee bean makes from the farm to the cup is full of
small steps that must be perfectly coordinated to preserve the
quality and flavor of the coffee. Our buyer has travelled to the
countries of origin and met with coffee farmers in their fields,
marveling at the complexity of moving coffee from remote parts of
the world to market. Our coffee importer has built such strong
relationships with growers that many deals are closed with just a
handshake.

Split Rock’s coffee buyer started his career as a chef, choosing and
combining flavors to create award-winning dishes. Creating a great cup
of coffee happens the same way. Coffees from around the world have
flavor compounds that reflect the soil structure and altitude at which
they are grown, as well as the water supply, sunlight or shade, and
other growing conditions. Some coffee growing regions are known for
the distinct body found in the coffees they grow; other areas produce
coffees with a citrus acidity, or in rarer cases, fruity overtones.
The roasting process needs to also take other qualities into account.
Some coffees are soft, with a less dense cell structure, and are best
lightly roasted, while others are hard or dense, and dark roasting
brings out the flavors in the bean. Our coffee buyer utilizes his
culinary and coffee buying experience to create blends that work best
at each roast level, carefully testing them to be sure that the
flavors are balanced in the final cup. Split Rock coffee blends are
sure to please the most discriminating palate.
Our Light Roast is 100% Colombian from the Huila (Southern) region of Colombia. The lighter roast style is balanced, rich and brighter in acidity then the dark and medium roasts. This Single Origin coffee is a great example of Colombian coffee.
Our Medium Roast is a traditional Breakfast Blend. This blend highlights the body of Strictly High Grown (SHG) Central American, the mild acidity of East African, and the smooth finish of the South American coffees. Medium Roast has notes of sweet chocolate with a dark cherry finish, and makes a great choice for Espresso.
Our Dark Roast is reminiscent of a light French Roast. The combination of Central American and Indonesian coffee beans produces a great balance of body and acidity. The beans naturally occurring dark cocoa, and bittersweet chocolate flavors work well with cream or milk.
