Lindsey and Scott Sozio are the founders of Lavender, a coffee and wellness company dedicated to being an integral part of your daily routine, offering specialty coffee and curated wellness essentials from their Denver café and online stores. Their house-roasted, health-focused coffees and carefully crafted formulations are designed to nourish your body, mind, and spirit. Searching for a sense of calm and subtle increase in energy and focus, while staying true to the time-honored tradition of specialty craft coffee, they discovered an indulgent taste and wellness experience with sustainably grown coffees roasted to a softer profile. 

Lavender coffee is roasted for balance, never bitter nor sour; each cup an invitation to slow down, savor the moment, and indulge in a sip of peaceful luxury. The specialty coffee is sustainably grown from small farm holders around the globe and feature gentle acidity, decadent sweetness and rich mouthfeel.

What sets Lavender apart from many in the coffee space is that they roast their coffees at their local roastery. Lavender’s roasters are considered to be artists, experts at coaxing the finest characteristics from each green coffee bean. They employ a ‘low and slow’ method for each small batch roast. This means we roast our specialty beans at a lower temperature and take more time to develop the flavor profile. The result is a lower acid content and balanced aroma, body, and flavor. Lavender coffees are healthier and gentle on the stomach while maintaining a rich taste in each cup. Read more at: https://lavendercb.com/
