Sources used in this deep dive
Research disclosure — this profile was compiled from public online sources on 2026-10-21. This company overview is not a tasting review. Original tasting reviews are labeled separately when they exist. Ownership, roasting and sourcing details are attributed to documented sources. While the brand's website presents a narrative of a 'backyard hobbyist' startup, public records and business filings confirm it is a long-standing commercial entity under the Louisiana Roasting Company, and the exact founding date of the current retail brand versus the original service is slightly conflated in marketing materials.
