About Us

Drogo Coffee and Tea is a female owned company located in Atlanta, GA. We specialize in small-batch coffee, slow-roasted over fire using green coffee beans from small lot, Fair Trade farms, as well as a variety of unique tea blends that we create in-house.

We started, like most things do, as a passion of our owner, roaster, and tea-blender, Barrie.

Having worked as a barista for corporate, big-name coffee companies and developing cafe programs for local restaurants, Barrie knew that she wanted to do something for herself for a change.

Over the next few years, she began to teach herself how to roast coffee, adapting fire roasting techniques to create slow-roasted blends.

As an experiment for the holidays one year, she bought ten pounds of green coffee beans to roast as holiday presents.

Her thinking was this: "If I roast this coffee and everyone LOVES their gifts, I'll take the plunge and make this my full-time job. If I roast this coffee and everyone HATES their gifts, well, I'll be out ten pounds of coffee and I'll keep my day job."

Two and a half years later, you can say that the rest is history.
