Folio is Jean-Marc and Nancy, roasting one coffee a month in San Jose. One release at a time, picked because it caught our attention, each with its own story to read.
We asked ourselves what we actually love, and the answer was change. Change in flavor, in profile, in what a coffee can be. So we chase it one bag at a time.
Folio started as a side project. One of us was trying to figure out where a passion could take us, and we were curious whether a small roastery could be both real and fun. We decided early that if we did it, we would do it thoughtfully. No rush to scale, no shelf of twelve blends to manage. Keep it small enough to stay fun.
What we kept coming back to was change. We love the discovery of a new flavor, a new process, an origin we had not tasted before. One coffee a month is how we protect that. It gives us time to roast a lot until we get it right, to actually taste it the way it deserves, and then to move on and start the search over again.
We roast in small weekly batches in San Jose on an Aillio Bullet R2 Pro, husband and wife, packing the bags together. Every release is a numbered issue with its own page online, so the story travels with the coffee. That is the whole of it. We would rather do one thing well each month than fill a catalogue you have to sort through.
One coffee, chosen because it caught our attention, released as the next number in the series. 250g, roasted fresh the week it ships.
Every bag is stamped and numbered by hand. A QR on the back opens the full issue online: where the lot came from, how we roasted it, and how to brew it.
Roasted weekly in small batches, so what lands on your counter is a coffee we just pulled off the roaster. Free local pickup in San Jose.
The door is open if you want coffee for something bigger.
We roast for cafés and small shops, and we pack favors for weddings and gatherings. We made 90 bags for our own wedding. Tell us the occasion and rough numbers and we will put together a quote.
Standing orders for shops that want a rotating single origin on the menu.
Hand-stamped bags as favors and gifts, packed for the guest count you need.
