Coffee

Our specialty coffee is roasted locally by Caffe Vita Coffee Roasters, a Seattle-based company that emphasizes single-origin coffee and a close sourcing relationship with the communities and farmers that cultivate coffee around various growing regions. 

Our coffee blends:

FRENCH ROAST

Caffe Luna, Vita’s French Roast, redefines what a dark roast can be. Toasty but never burnt, this blend brings incredibly layered flavors within a classic dark cup.

This signature French roast blend of Central, South American and Indonesian coffees. Grown at altitudes ranging from 1500-3000 meters. Look for flavors of dark chocolate, almond, and smores.

NOVACELLA DECAF

A blend of Central/South American and Indonesian coffees. Grown at altitudes ranging from 1000-2500 meters. Not to be dismissed, Vita takes great pride in maintaining a full-flavored, quality-focused decaf. Only achievable through the careful selection and layered blending, the Novacella is for those searching for flavor without the buzz.

Novacella decaf is naturally decaffeinated through a method involving ethyl acetate derived from sugar cane. This is not water processed, it’s a naturally occurring chemical derived from sugar cane used to decaffeinate the coffee.

Look for flavors of nutmeg, cocoa powder, candied orange.
