Tasting Notes

Bright, Floral, Stonefruit, Peach

"Pompton Peach" is named after the main street that passes through Cedar Grove, NJ's downtown, and also happens to be the street we are located on. The "peach" part comes from just one of the glorious tasting notes provided by a cup of this exceptional single origin coffee.

We brew Pompton Peach every Sunday and Thursday and will be happy to do a pourover or sell whole beans of this gem daily.
