TREEHOUSE is thrilled to be partnering with Brio Coffeeworks to bring their delicious gourmet coffee to Waterbury. Brio is roasted right here in Vermont and sourced from only the best sustainable sources. While we won’t be a full service coffeeshop, we will always have three options in our AirPot pumps including decaf. Though it’s more expensive for us, every part of our to-go cups are compostable, including the lids, and we’ll be providing mugs for in house enjoyment.

Read more about Brio’s values, production and product at their website, Brio Coffeeworks but here’s some important things to know:

FAIR TRADE

We are a Fair Trade certified roaster, meaning that nearly all of the coffee that we buy from small farmer coops is purchased above the Fair Trade minimum price plus a premium that we pay directly to Fair Trade USA. The coffees that we do not buy from coops consists almost entirely of unique, high-quality lots purchased from individual small farms at FOB prices that are well above the Fair Trade minimum price.

A DEDICATED VERMONT BASED TEAM

You won't find a more dedicated group of coffee professionals than our small team. We're working hard every day to make sure that our roasting practices reflect the latest thinking in the field of specialty coffee. This means making the best of our memberships in the Specialty Coffee Association, Barista Guild of America, and Coffee Roaster's Guild, attending trainings and reading everything that we can get our hands on. We hope that you're enjoying the fruits of our labors!
