The Roastery

T3 began their journey to create the finest cup of coffee years ago when Gary roasted his first batch of green coffee beans. With a background in electrical engineering and thermodynamics, Gary was driven by a passion to perfect the art of coffee roasting. Over the years, he dedicated himself to research and development, crafting several prototypes until he achieved his vision: a fully computer-controlled, small-scale commercial roaster. This milestone was reached in January 2020 with the official launch of T3 Roasters.

In 2021, T3 elevated their roasting process by upgrading to their first US-built Diedrich Roaster. This state-of-the-art equipment enables the development of a unique roast profile for each coffee variety, ensuring every bean reaches its full flavor potential. This meticulous approach guarantees that wherever you purchase T3 beans, each cup reflects T3’s commitment to quality. This dedication extends beyond roasting: T3 carefully sources beans from sustainable farms that prioritize both quality and environmental stewardship. Every batch roasted embodies this commitment to ethical sourcing and innovative techniques, delivering only the finest coffee.

With the acquisition of a second Diedrich Roaster and the opening of their flagship roastery in 2023, T3 is equipped to handle orders of any size. Whether you’re a small coffee shop, a large retail supplier, or a passionate coffee enthusiast, T3 delivers the highest quality coffee tailored to your needs. When you choose T3, you’re not just getting great coffee—you’re enjoying a product expertly roasted and crafted to perfection.
