“Renew the Earth, Restore Your Energy.” There’s nothing more wonderful than the aroma of fresh brewed coffee…except the taste of exceptional small batch roasted organic coffee. However, our owner Ed Freedman recognizes it takes more than a delicious smell to guarantee a superior and healthy coffee. To ensure your highest quality coffee experience we only roast USDA Certified Organic Coffee Specialty Coffee Beans because:
- It tastes richer, is more complex and is never bitter.
- Free from harmful contaminants like pesticides, mycotoxins and mold
- It’s healthier for your and our environment
- Higher in natural polyphenols, antioxidants and nutrients
- It supports Fair Trade USA and sustainable farming
At Shearwater the integrity of our small batch organic coffee roasting process is built into our business’ core values. The result is 100% USDA Certified Organic roasted and certified Kosher*.
“It’s a way of life, not a product line.” – Ed Freedman, Owner Shearwater Organic Coffee Roasters
We begin the roasting process with organic coffee beans imported from small coffee farms from Mexico, Central & South America, East Africa and Indonesia. The farmers who provide our coffee beans are as committed to sustainability farming as we are to ensuring our roasting, serving and delivery processes minimize impact to the environment. More farms are transitioning to organic regenerative farming to further improve the nutrients in the soil for a better planet and healthier coffee plant.
Shearwater uses a highly energy efficient Diedrich IR-12 infra-red roaster designed to operate on less electricity than conventional roasters. Shearwater approaches each bean with its own unique roasting profile to maximize flavor and healthiness and minimize acrylamides.
Shearwater’s vision started with our founder Ed Freedman’s passion for healthy and flavorful organic coffee, his attention to detail and commitment to sustainability. When Shearwater opened our family-owned business in 2013, we were the only small batch organic coffee roaster in Fairfield County, Connecticut. As an encore career, Ed was dedicated to bringing delectable and healthy coffee to our Fairfield County community.
As Ed says, “Organic coffee is healthier for you and for the environment.”
In addition, to the consumer market, restaurateurs, coffee bars, specialty stores and even food trucks began offering Shearwater’s high quality artisanal organic, small batch roasted coffee to their patrons. If you live in the Fairfield County area you can easily find our brands in stores like Whole Foods. Of course, if Fairfield County is too long a drive you can always order online.
Coffee lovers were quick to take note of Shearwater’s dedication to healthiness and excellence. Before long we were welcoming dedicated, repeat customers to our Fairfield County establishment and to our online store.
When you receive your first bag of Shearwater small batch roasted organic coffee you’ll see a Shearwater bird on the side of the package. These sea birds travel thousands of miles each year to coastal Connecticut. For us Shearwater was perfect name for our company. The sea bird combines courage with fortitude and reminds us of our commitment to ensure that our coffee is delivered to you with speed and integrity.
