About Pisgah Coffee Roasters
The journey of Pisgah Coffee Roasters began more than a century ago, spanning nearly 4,000 miles. In the late 1800s, Jotham Lipsi's ancestors embarked from Italy to Brazil, where they found their calling on a coffee farm.
Fast forward to a new era, Jotham's father and co-owner, Jonathan, an agronomist, acquired a coffee estate in Minas Gerais, a southern state celebrated for its coffee production. Spanning 500 acres and adorned with over 300,000 coffee trees, the farm became a childhood haven for Jotham and his siblings, steeping him in the essence of coffee cultivation.
In 2004, Brevard College beckoned Jotham to the verdant landscapes of western North Carolina. Enthralled like many by the region's allure, he forged deep roots.
Partnering with his father, he began sourcing single-origin coffee from Brazil's Cerrado region, supplying these premium beans to wholesale partners.
Building upon the knowledge garnered from the commercial trade, Jotham and Jonathan birthed Pisgah Coffee Roasters in 2010.
Here, amidst the majestic mountains of western North Carolina, their passion for coffee and reverence for the land converged.
Today, Pisgah Coffee Roasters remains committed to sourcing beans from the Cerrado region of Brazil, where familial bonds endure with the land and its stewards.
We’re a family-owned and operated business, grateful for the opportunity to live, work, and explore the beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains.
