Roasted With Care in
Vancouver, Washington
We started His Word Coffee because we believed two things could go together without apology: coffee worth slowing down for, and a clear sense of why we do it. We are Nick and Rachel Murphy, and along with our two daughters we run this roastery as a family.
Coffee runs deep on my side of the family. My grandfather grew up in Montana's Bitterroot Valley, and a good pot of coffee was part of how that house started every morning. That memory is a big reason we do this work the way we do, with patience and attention to the cup in front of us.
This is not a side hustle or a label slapped on someone else's product. We roast every bag ourselves on our own equipment, we taste what we sell, and our faith shapes how we treat customers and the people who grow our coffee.
We roast on a fluid-bed air roaster. Heated air lifts and suspends the beans through the whole roast, so the heat reaches every bean evenly and the chaff blows clear instead of scorching back into the batch. In our cupping we find this gives us a cleaner, brighter cup that tastes more like the origin and less like the roast.
