Murphys, CA…We recently had the pleasure to spend a few minutes watching Tonja Peterson roast batches of coffee for Gold Country Roasters. She brings an artist’s touch and craftsman’s skill to each batch. The temperature and duration of each batch is charted and reviewed to ensure the best tasting coffee for their customers. She roasts coffee for not only their Scott Street location but wholesale customers as well. Gold County Roasters has an almost 20 year history in Murphys with a loyal and growing following. One great benefit of small roasters is that they can be more adventurous in their coffees…

Tonja talked about some of the latest coffee trends including some of the younger, energy drink, generations that are driving the growth of some very light roasts. Gold County Roasters has the traditional but also an evolving approach to coffee that should positon them well for the years ahead.

They roast all their coffees weekly on-site in a newly refurbished 25-pound San Franciscan batch roaster built in Fallon, Nevada. Their goal is to provide the freshest and most delicious coffee with superior customer service to wholesale and retail customers throughout the area.
