Intelligentsia Coffee

The white tea process transforms the fresh harvest of young camellia sinensis leaves that will eventually become your must-have cup of tea. This method draws out a luscious mouthfeel with hints of sweet flavors characteristic of high-quality, artisan white teas.

A direct result from terroir and cultivar, the green tea process seeks to preserve the camellia sinensis plant’s distinctive color palate and extract its fresh, savory flavors. Steep, sip, and enjoy compelling green teas that reflect a peak of season, land, and process.

As unique in name as it is in flavor, kilogram oolong teas are handcrafted to accentuate the floral, fruit-forward flavors cherished by oolong tea lovers everywhere.

The black tea process allows camellia sinensis leaves to fully dry, oxidize and ultimately take on its own personality and substance into the tea that will eventually become your cup. As a result, kilogram black teas develop a rich, malty flavor, and full body when met with hot water.

Carefully tested cup after cup and precision blended with fresh herbs, spices, and botanicals, each caffeine-free tisane we produce offers a distinctive flavor profile suitable for any palate.

Each curated blend of kilogram tea comes individually wrapped in our amply portioned pyramid bags, specially designed to unlock tea leaves’ ultimate flavor potential as they immerse and infuse in your cup.

A specially curated blend of camellia sinensis leaves, fresh herbs, and botanicals, kilogram iced teas are specially developed to bring your palate refreshingly sweet, nuanced flavors when chilled.

Taking a nod from the centuries-old Indian beverage, our own powerful blend of black tea, and aromatic spices leaves a calming, soothing effect in each chai tea serving.

Intelligentsia single-origin coffees are sourced from some of the most decorated estates, family-owned farms and farmer organizations from around the world. These coffees are carefully selected by our team of coffee professionals to highlight the specific flavor notes of a single growing region, process or cultivar. Each one represents a unique expression of flavor; together they represent the very best of our seasonal coffee menu.

From careful cultivation to refined preparation techniques, the black cat project™ drives continuous innovation to espresso in all its forms. A direct result of intensive lot sourcing and close collaboration with our farmers or producers, our single origin and seasonal coffees produce espressos that continuously push the boundaries of flavor.

Intelligentsia blends showcase the cross-section of our favorite seasonal coffees. To highlight the nuanced flavors we cherish, each blend offers a distinctive flavor profile. Our blends are carefully tested cup after cup for adherence to our uncompromising standards. Discover blends that are the truest expression of the coffee roaster’s craft.

At intelligentsia, we take decaf seriously. To maintain the unique flavor profile of each batch, our caffeine-free coffees are decaffeinated through a chemical-free, mountain water process. Enjoy delicious, non-caffeinated coffee, without compromising on flavor.

We brew coffees at their peak sweetness, disrupting the all too common notion that coffees from any origin stay fresh year-round. Intelligentsia in season™ means that our coffees are offered only while they still retain the vibrant nature and the their producer intended. As a result, our in season coffees possess the same compelling traits they held when they first arrived at our roasting works. It’s how intelligentsia brings seasonality to the coffee industry.
