About Us
Our Story
BLUE NILE Coffee was founded on the principle of marrying high quality speciality coffee with responsible sourcing, making coffee better for everyone from drinkers to farmers, and this commitment continues to drive us today. Every day we make small and deliberate choices to build and develop the quality of our coffees and our partnerships. We're passionate about delivering the best handcrafted products and take pride in the journey from seed to cup. We’re focused on creating beautiful coffee experiences and connecting people.
Our company has a passion for sharing amazing coffee, and this passion continues to drive us today.
Amazing coffee is an endless journey, and we’re committed for the distance.
We work hard every day to thoughtfully guide our seasonal coffee offering. With producers and importing partners all over the world, we source super-fresh, super-clean, 85+ point coffees with loads of sweetness and character. Then our roasting team gets to work on a tireless pursuit to develop roast profiles and blend ratios that highlight the best of every coffee.
Our Roastery
Our state of the art roasting facility is a coffee professional's dream. We currently roast coffee on five different roasters of various sizes and engineering. We have carefully collected these tools over the years to highlight different roasting techniques and accentuate different flavour profiles.
Roasting highlights the qualities inherent in the green coffee. Coffee is a drupe, a stone fruit and just like grapes for wine, there are thousands of different varieties growing in various regions around the world. No two coffees are the same and the potential for flavour complexity is immense. Our goal as a roaster is to work with individual varieties and express them in a delicious, balanced cup, showcasing each coffee’s unique qualities and characteristics.
Quality Control Team
Our focus goes far beyond roasting and preparation, to the source of the raw material: the green coffee bean. Every coffee comes from a farm, and we want to provide the most direct link between our customers and that source. We want the tasting experience to be built around the knowledge of who grew the coffee, what variety, where on their farm, when it was harvested and how it got here.
Our offerings reflect the seasonality of coffee. Our in-house coffee buyer travels directly to farms to evaluate and select coffees. At cupping labs both at origin and in our roastery, where each lot is carefully tasted and graded. Because we are working with seasonal harvests, each lot is limited in availability, and thus as fresh as possible. Our coffee menu changes throughout the year and each coffee is presented at its peak of flavour.
Our relationships are the soul of our work.
We continually strive to develop sustainable partnerships at Blue Nile Coffee. We collaborate with enthusiastic, satisfied customers while positively contributing to the health of local and global ecosystems. We do this through motivating, recognizing, and rewarding every part of the value network - viewing each of our partners as valued team members.
From the coffee’s origin to our roaster, into cafés and kitchens, it is human togetherness in every part of the process that makes the coffee we represent possible. As in any good relationship, communication is key, so reach out and let’s talk
We’ll leave you happier than we found you.
We’re thankful to have many opportunities to serve you. Some acts are small and some are big, so whether we’re carefully packing your order or shipping out your grinder before the weekend rush, we’re going to give you 100% every time. If you have the same passion for service, come work with us.
