Lore /lôr/
Lore Coffee Roasters is rooted in North Idaho, but even deeper rooted in Eastern Orthodox Christianity (Antioch).
You can see the outpouring of the beauty of the Church in the ornamentation on our products and the overall presentation of our Coffee House. Inspired by Byzantine Christian motifs with a modern approach, the art is mirrored in the layered and intricate flavor profiles of the coffees that we present to you.
We are built on an unwavering commitment to quality. Our purpose is simple: to bring you into the journey.
At Lore, roasting coffee isn’t just a profession—it’s a calling, one that we pursue with dedication and care every day.
Our Mission
We source unique coffees grown and processed by expert farmers and producers from around the world. Our job is to pay homage to their craft by delicately roasting every coffee to optimum flavor, clarity and distinctness, bringing you into the story behind each coffee.
Graysen
Graysen and his wife Rachel lead Lore. They are in charge of maintaining customer relationships, bag designs, and all things technical. Graysen is dedicated to Lore's direction, greenbuying, and quality control.
Rachel
Rachel is Lore’s in-house designer and social media manager. She’s the creative behind our packaging, visuals, and online voice--and you’ll also find her behind the bar at the coffee house. Her eye for detail and love for design bring the spirit of Lore to life, both on the shelf and in your feed.
When she isn't doing that, she's the GM of the Coffee House. Come stop by!
Conrad
Conrad is Lore's head roaster and helps with QC. His background in being an executive chef is the backbone of his skillset when it comes to meticulous attention to detail on both the green and roasted sides of the business.
When he's not roasting, you're probably hearing from him as he's our wholesale manager and partnerships lead. Reach out!
There is no animal or plant in which the Creator has not put some virtue that is of use for the needs of man.
