Rogue Elephant Coffee Roasting Company

Specialties

Our mission at RECRC is to roast some of the finest coffees from all over the world (sorry, we are currently not a coffee shop). We sell our coffee to local grocery/​retail stores in the Hampton Roads area and online. You can also find us at Smithfield Farmers Market on Saturdays from 9am-​12pm during the months of April — December. If you don’t live in our area, we will gladly ship you coffee. Just place an order at rogueele​phant​cof​fee​.com/​shop/. All of our coffee is roasted weekly to guarantee freshness. Follow us on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter (@RogueElephantVA) to find out where we’ll be each weekend and find out which businesses just received a delivery of fresh roasted coffee.

History

Established in 2010.

The inception of Rogue Elephant Coffee Roasting Company began in 2007. Initially, it started off as a hobby. The equipment was very simple and consisted of a pan, a wooden spoon and a camping burner. Throw in some green coffee beans and a passion for coffee, and the hobby soon evolved into a coffee roasting business. Today, we still do small-​batch roasting using a 6 pound coffee roaster. We also do an occasional pan roast. At Rogue Elephant Coffee Roasting Company, our emphasis is on making fresh, locally roasted coffee that tastes amazing. We hope you enjoy the coffee just as much as we enjoy roasting it!
