John Cossette, Coffee Buyer
Royal Coffee, co-founded by Bob Fulmer and Peter McLaughlin, has been importing and supplying specialty roasters with organically grown green (unprocessed) beans since 1978. To strive toward their goal, to carry an inventory of the best coffees from every country of origin, Royal has emphasized bean quality while searching coffee-producing countries in Central and South America, Asia, and Africa. With the rationale that quality is dependent upon production method, Royal has always chosen trading partners, including small family-owned exporters and farmers' cooperatives, who farm with environmental ethics, and their line of coffee includes shade grown and certified organic coffee beans. Located in Emeryville, CA, Royal imports from Mexico, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Columbia, Panama, Costa Rica, Brazil, Peru, New Guinea, East Timor, and Sumatra.
