Short Sleeves Coffee

About

Short Sleeves Coffee is a roasting company and coffee shop based in Swannanoa, NC.

Coffee is a pretty regular thing that most people drink every day. However, there is quite a bit that goes into getting those brown beans to your home. Within that process, there’s also a lot that can go wrong for the earth, the people on the margins, and the supply chain.

We’re trying to be part of what’s going well…and work tirelessly to only source coffee that is both delicious, and is ethically sourced. We then roast, prepare, and brew that coffee in methods that we believe offers an excellent product, that also serves our staff and customers with care. 

We don’t believe we are called to simply enter this world, use up the resources with lackluster methods, consume, and dissolve into the earth. We rather are called to work for more sustainable methods of coffee production, care for the environment we are given, work towards better conditions for farmers and their families, and spend time doing justice to the piece of creation we’re responsible for.

Things shouldn’t be formed to simply be produced cheaply and tossed out — but instead we are invited to come alongside the work that has already begun in taking broken and ordinary things and making them undeniably beautiful.
