About Us

TN Barrels - Barrel-Aged Coffee

We source high-quality Arabica beans, finish select lots in reclaimed whiskey barrels to add oak and caramel character, then hand roast to bring out balance and clarity. Our process is deliberate and transparent, so every bag delivers a bold, memorable cup.

Craft outstanding barrel finished coffee while supporting sustainable sourcing and local partnerships.

  • Sourcing: We select beans from trusted growers and choose lots that respond well to barrel finishing.
  • Barrel aging: Green beans rest in reclaimed spirit barrels long enough to absorb oak, caramel, and spice notes.
  • Roasting: Small batch hand roasts preserve aroma and body while amplifying barrel character.
  • Packaging: We roast to order and pack fresh to ensure peak flavor for customers and partners.

We work with cafes and retailers on wholesale orders. Contact our partnerships team for details.

Our Story

From Barrel to Roast

What began as a simple experiment grew into a focused craft roastery. We wanted to see what real barrel influence could do for coffee. After testing different barrels, origins, and roast profiles, we refined a process that highlights natural sweetness, toasted oak, and subtle spice without masking the bean.

We do three things well: choose beans that accept barrel finishing, age those beans in carefully selected reclaimed barrels, and hand roast each micro lot to preserve clarity. Barrel aging is not a shortcut. It is a careful step that requires time and repeatable standards to produce consistent, high-quality flavor.

We roast in Tennessee because local craft matters. We partner with nearby suppliers and with cafes to share tasting notes and product knowledge. Look for the Roasted in Tennessee badge on our packaging to know the coffee was finished and roasted here.

  • Small batch craft and attention to detail.
  • Transparent sourcing and responsible partnerships.
  • Taste-forward roasts built to be enjoyed.
