News and Information:

The Carmel Coffee House (formerly Caffe Cardinale and Roasting Company).  Not only has the name changed, but the coffee is better than EVER!  In February of 2009, we went ORGANIC!  Small batch roasted and 100% ORGANIC!! We roast our certified organic beans to perfection 20 pounds at a time.  Not only does our coffee taste great, but it will also be absent of any pesticides and chemicals that your body does not need.  Just great coffee, that is all we know how to do.

This Months Specials:

For the months of July, August and September 2010 we are celebrating our conversion to 100% organic coffee and web site re-design, by offering Free Shipping for all orders over 4 pounds. That's right, you buy 4 pounds or more and we will get it to you at no extra charge!

About Our Single Origin Coffees

At The Carmel Coffee House we only use the highest quality "green" beans available on the market. We buy only 100% Arabica beans which are more dense and have better flavor characteristics than the Robusta variety.

The Arabica beans, characteristics change based on where they are grown. Climate conditions, soil nutrients, and harvesting techniques all contribute to the different flavor characteristics that each origin or country is know for.

Below are some of the characteristics that we have found from the different coffees we roast from around the world.

Colombia Supremo - Unusually smooth and nicely balanced.
Mexican Pluma Altura - Delicate, Earthy and mild.
Costa Rican - Very smooth, complex and balanced.
Sumatra Mandheling - Very full-body, smooth and complex.
Peru Organic - Well-balanced and very mild.
Ethiopa Harrar - Wine like with a mild finish.
Java Estate - Heavy body, smooth and complex.
Kona Mountain Estate - Very aromatic with a rich, medium body.
