Sweetleaf Coffee Roasters Information

Sweetleaf was founded in 2008 by Rich Nieto, a Queens native who wanted to roast coffee that reflects New York City: diverse, sophisticated and decidedly unique. Great coffee isn't just consumed; it's experienced. At Sweetleaf, we are continually experimenting and refining to create a distinct experience that sets us apart. Coffee can tantalize the senses and excite the palate. We play, sample and experiment with a full spectrum of flavors to create something extraordinary. We explore each coffee by testing different roast profiles and then methodically cupping each roast to record, understand and replicate the best characteristics inherent in the beans. With certain coffees, you may want to accentuate a buttery, full-bodied mouthfeel, whereas others may require being more fruit-forward with lingering acidity. Some may boast rich, sweet notes of chocolate and honey while others smack of juicy stone fruit and berries. Working with such a dynamic, flavorful product means the creative possibilities are endless. We invite you to see for yourself why Sweetleaf coffee is the perfect blend of art and science
