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.

MORE THEN JUST A CUP — A Legacy in Every Sip

Every brand has a story. Ours begins with a woman who made everyone around her feel like family.

Lucille Simonds was the kind of person communities are built around — a leader, a giver, a neighbor who showed up not because she had to, but because that's simply who she was. Every morning, without fail, she started her day the same way: with a hot cup of coffee or tea. It was her ritual, her quiet moment before a day full of pouring into others.

Lucille fought cancer — and won. But cancer came back. And this time, the financial weight of treatment became impossible to carry. The cost of medication, the price of continuing care — it became the barrier that no patient should ever face. Lucille Simonds passed away, and those who loved her carry that truth every single day.

A Brand Built in Her Honor Lucille Simonds Coffee was founded in her memory and her vision. Every purchase supports cancer patients with medication and treatment costs, invests in future cancer technologies, and strengthens our community for our kids and families.

She helped everyone she could. Now, through this brand, we carry that spirit forward — one cup at a time.
