I received an email regarding Rivertown Roasters in San Marcos, TX. I had never heard of it until now.
CJ writes:
Rivertown Roasters, located in San Marcos, TX. Organic small batch coffees, teas, and syrups. Over 50% fair trade, fresh roasted when orders are received.
Contact Justin at 281-222-9296 or email the roaster at cj@rivertownroasters.com
The email says “Over 50% Fair Trade”, but the website says over 75%.
They sell to three local (to San Marcos) coffee retailers, and you can order by calling or emailing them. (no web commerce as of writing this). They also host small cuppings once a month.
The site also says something about a grand opening celebration “This Saturday”, but it doesn’t specify if it was the 23rd or if it will be March 1st.
Thanks, CJ.
Rivertown Roasters has been added to our Roasters page.

According to their blog (http://rivertownroasters.blogspot.com/), the opening was on February 9th.
None the less, I’m excited about having a roaster in San Marcos.

Hey, Ben, thanks for that link. I added it to the Links page (up top).
CJ is active on Barista Exchange as well, so you may have something good out there!
