Qualia Coffee was founded in DC in 2009 on the concept of “coffee as produce,” to create a fresh coffee experience akin to buying locally grown fruits and vegetables at the farmer's market. Unlike the coffee you find in the grocery store, Qualia roasts single-origin beans in small batches and sells them to the home user within hours or just a few days of roast. Qualia is devoted to the idea that local production can be leveraged to ensure customers a fresh flavor and more satisfying beverage.
