Part of the third wave, specialty coffee market, Caveman Coffee is hand picked, wet processed and small batch roasted by a master coffee roaster in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Founders and athletes Tait Fletcher, Keith Jardine and Lacie Mackey all bring something special to create a truly unconventional company.

In 2013 Tait, Keith and Lacie teamed up to create Caveman Coffee Co. Partnering with a specialty coffee roaster that owns it’s family farm and imports their beans from Colombia.

Each bean is grown under the UTZ certification and Rainforest alliance protocols for sustainability and natural growing practices. They are hand picked, only when ripe, and wet-processed for drying. This process produces the highest quality, dried beans for roasting. It preserves the natural flavors and nutrients while cleaning the beans from the fruit and preventing molding and bitterness. The Caveman team imports the beans and roasts them by a master roaster, to produce an unbelievably smooth coffee that is never burnt and maintains the best nutrients for the consumer. Caveman routinely tests it’s products for food safety to ensure the highest standards are continually met.

In addition to coffee beans, caveman offers and 100% coconut MCT oil (a refined coconut oil), Green tea, apparel and brewing products. In 2014 they launched a line of Cold Brew products that currently includes a 22 oz. Cold Brew Concentrate and an 8 oz nitrogen Cold Brew in a can.
