FOLIO

A monthly curation
What is Folio?

Each month, one limited coffee.
Chosen on purpose, roasted in our garage, made for the curious.

Folio is a small-batch coffee project run by Jean-Marc and Nancy in San Jose. Each month we pick one coffee, roast a small run of it in our garage, and write down what made it worth your attention.

Every bag ships with a printed card. The full essay lives online: the producer, the process, why we chose this one.

One coffee a month. Small batches. Finite when it's gone.

Plain questions

Frequently asked.

  1. What is Folio?

    Folio is a small-batch coffee project run by Jean-Marc and Nancy in San Jose. Each month, we pick one coffee, roast a small run of it in our garage, and write about why we chose it.

  2. How does it work?

    Each release is numbered (Folio Nº 01, Nº 02, and so on). We pick one coffee, write about it, and roast a small batch. When it's gone, it's gone. The next release is a different coffee, the following month.

  3. How often do you release a new coffee?

    One per month. We choose what we want to taste next, not on a calendar set a year ahead.

  4. Why so small?

    We roast in our garage, by hand, on a small machine. Each release is finite because we want to do the work properly, not produce coffee at scale. The smaller the batch, the more care goes into each bag.

  5. Who's behind Folio?

    Folio is run by Jean-Marc and Nancy, a husband-and-wife team in San Jose. Jean-Marc roasts. Nancy works on design and packaging. We both drink a lot of coffee.

  6. Can I pick my roast level?

    Yes. At checkout, you pick light, medium, or dark. We recommend a level for each release based on the bean, but the call is yours. Each bag is roasted to order.

  7. Where do you ship?

    We ship across the continental United States via USPS. Shipping is $6.95 per order, or free when you order two bags. Free local pickup is available in the Bay Area.
