Our Story
Our Story
At Lucille Simonds, we believe that a truly exceptional cup of coffee begins long before it reaches your hands. It starts on the slopes of high mountain farms, in the careful hands of dedicated growers, and in the meticulous craft of processing that brings out each bean's finest character.
Where Our Coffee Comes From
We source our beans from high-elevation farms across South America, where cooler temperatures and rich volcanic soils slow the growth of the coffee cherry — allowing sugars to develop fully and flavors to deepen. The result is a cup with remarkable complexity, natural sweetness, and a clean, vibrant finish.
Many of our coffees are washed-process, a method that strips away the fruit before drying to highlight the bean's truest, most nuanced flavors. This approach rewards patience and precision, and we believe you can taste the difference in every sip.
Our Mission
We started Lucille Simonds with a simple conviction: great coffee should be honest. Honest about where it comes from, how it was grown, and what it tastes like. We work directly with farmers who share our commitment to quality and sustainability, and we roast every batch with care to honor the work that went into growing it.
What Makes Our Blends Distinctive
Every blend we craft is built around a story — a specific origin, a particular elevation, a unique processing method. We don't blend to hide flaws; we blend to celebrate the complementary strengths of exceptional beans. Whether you prefer a bright, fruit-forward cup or a rich, chocolatey roast, you'll find that each Lucille Simonds coffee has a clear identity and a reason for being.
