Vertically integrated coffee company Rootline Coffee<\/a> is drawing straight lines from Nicaragua into guests’ cups at the company’s first coffee shop in Dripping Springs, Texas. <\/p>\n

Tiles, embroidery and natural wood pieces around the 2,100-square-foot cafe about 45 minutes west of Austin create a comfortable setting in which to sip a fresh brew. They also reflect the direct connection to Finca Esperanza De Gloria, a farm in Jinotega, Nicaragua, owned by Rootline proprietors Britt and Audrey Hancock.<\/p>\n

Roasting for the cafe occurs offsite, at an approximately 580-square-foot Dripping Springs roastery facility that houses 6-kilo and 3-kilo Mill City Roasters<\/a> machines. Rootline also ships coffee to a second roastery in Summerset, South Dakota, that houses a 10-kilo Mill City machine. Both roasteries are overseen by Rootline Coffee Production Manager Layne Sorgee.<\/p>\n

Summerset is home to Britt and Audrey’s sone, David Hancock, and his wife, Jasmine Hancock, who serve as Rootline’s president and operations manager, respectively. The Hancocks have been part of a Christian missionary organization called Mountain Gateway that has operated in Nicaragua since 2013, and they purchased the coffee farm in 2017. <\/p>\n

\"Roastery\"<\/a><\/p>\n

“Our coffee shop was designed to really embrace the culture of our farm,” Jasmine Hancock told Daily Coffee News. “One of our favorite details is in the bathroom: The terracotta tile flooring has one imperfection of a dog\u2019s paw print in the tile. The team loved it, and it reminded us all of tiles we\u2019d find around Central America.”<\/p>\n

Finca Esperanza De Gloria comprises 127 acres in total, with 70 acres devoted to growing Java, Catimor, Catuai and Caturra coffee varieties. Post-harvest processes include both washed and natural. <\/p>\n

Said Jasmine, “Britt and Audrey purchased the failing farm in hopes to turn it around and create a better life for farmers \u2014 where they are paid and treated fairly and there was no child labor on the farm.”<\/p>\n

The coffee company at first sold roasted and surplus green coffees to customers in the United States under the name EDG Coffee, including through a retail coffee trailer established in 2019. The company rebranded as Rootline in 2020.<\/p>\n

A food program is coming soon to the Dripping Springs cafe, where drinks are crafted on a pair of eye-catching Victoria Arduino manual lever espresso machines. Online options will soon expand into K-cups, 5-pound bags and a selection of branded merchandise.<\/p>\n
