Bargreen Coffee Co

Fresh Roasted Gourmet Coffee Bargreen Coffee Company one of the oldest and finest coffee firms, was founded in 1898 by Sam Bargreen. Founder, Sam Bargreen, learned the coffee business from his uncle in Chicago, Illinois and during this time of apprenticeship, he lived for a time in Guatemala. Sam moved to the Seattle area over 100 years ago, at which time he was a partner in a commercial importing company where he became a "roaster". In time he acquired Imperial Tea Company as his one-third of the original partnership in the year of 1898. A Rich Cup of Coffee During the years of building the company and being the "buyer", Sam Bargreen had the opportunity to again visit in Latin America for a time and thus learned to use "Brazils", "Colombians" and "Centrals" for his coffee blends. These Arabica beans are custom blended by true coffee experts and then fire-roasted and stir-cooled to perfection, not burnt. The result is a rich cup of coffee that captures complex flavor subtleties from start to finish. The company has been handed down from father to son over the years, as have been the recipes and traditions. Along the way, however, progress warrants new recipes and traditions have been incorporated along with the old ones. The company had been able to maintain its "small company feeling" and still puts the customer at No. 1 today and always.
