About George Howell Coffee
Founded in 2004 by George Howell, a pioneer of the specialty coffee movement since 1974 when he opened The Coffee Connection in Harvard Square. After selling that chain to Starbucks in 1994, he co-founded the Cup of Excellence program before launching George Howell Coffee to pursue single-estate terroir-driven coffees.
Sourcing & Philosophy
Direct partnerships with single estates worldwide, publishing full traceability details including farm, elevation, variety, and processing. Never blends coffees, giving full credit to individual farmers.
