The Story Behind the Brew

What types of coffee do you offer?

We offer a wide selection of coffee, including classic blends, flavored options, and single-origin roasts. Each coffee is crafted to deliver unique and bold flavors.

Where is your coffee sourced from?

Our coffee is sourced directly from farms across the globe. We prioritize quality and sustainability, ensuring each bean tells a story of its origin.

At House of the Guud Shepherd Co, we’re not just selling coffee—we’re sharing a journey that started years ago in the heart of Nicaragua. In 2017, I had the incredible opportunity to study abroad in this beautiful country. While I was there, I experienced the rich, bold flavors of locally grown coffee in a way I had never imagined. I visited small coffee farms, where I learned firsthand how coffee was grown, harvested, and carefully crafted into the flavorful beans that would soon find their way into cups around the world.

I never knew that this eye-opening experience would lead me to where I am today, almost a decade later, running my own coffee business. At House of the Guud Shepherd Co, we bring the same authenticity and passion for quality that I found on those Nicaraguan farms into every product we offer. Our coffee is more than just a drink—it’s a crafted moment, built on a foundation of sustainable practices, ethical sourcing, and the kind of rich, bold flavors that complement every part of your day.

Every product we offer is crafted with that same spirit, delivering bold, authentic flavors to your everyday routine—just like the city that inspired us.
