FOLIO

A monthly curation
What is Folio?

A monthly coffee curation.

Folio is a small-batch coffee brand based in San Jose, California. Each issue features one or two coffees we've picked because they taught us something. We tell you about the producer, the process, and why we chose it.

Each bag ships with a printed card that tells you about the coffee, the producer, and how to brew it. The full essay lives online.

One issue per month. Small batches. Issued in numbered editions, like a magazine.

The current issue

Issue Nº 01
Yunnan, China

South of the clouds

A paired tasting flight: Menglian Red Honey and Black Sheep, a double anaerobic natural. Yunnan is growing arabica at the same latitude as Yirgacheffe, and almost no one in the US is drinking it yet.

Frequently asked.

  1. What is Folio?

    Folio is a monthly coffee brand based in San Jose, California. Each issue features one or two carefully chosen single-origin coffees released alongside original writing about the producer, the region, and why we picked them.

  2. How often do you release a new issue?

    One issue per month. Each issue is numbered, dated, and produced in a finite run.

  3. How is this different from a coffee subscription?

    Folio is not a subscription. Each issue is an individual release that you choose to buy or skip. No recurring charges, no commitment. The model is closer to a magazine than a subscription box.

  4. Who's behind Folio?

    Folio is run by Jean-Marc and Nancy, a husband-and-wife team in San Jose. Jean-Marc is a Senior Product Marketing Manager and a serious home coffee roaster. Nancy works with him on design and packaging.
