America's Coffee Roaster Since 1997
We're not a warehouse. We're not a reseller. We're a working roastery in Tyler, Texas — and every bag of coffee we sell is roasted right here, in small batches, by people who care about the craft.

After years working in the specialty coffee industry — cupping, tasting, roasting, product development, and marketing — Ray and Sandy Johnson decided to start their own roasting company. In 1997, Coffee City USA was born in Tyler, Texas.
Together, they built the business from the ground up. They developed a deep understanding of what quality coffee is and the characteristics of each origin. They helped create a number of today's top-selling flavored coffees in the industry. From the beginning, the promise was simple: coffee roasted daily, flavored to order, with the personal service customers deserve.
After building Coffee City USA for nearly two decades, Ray and Sandy retired, passing the roastery on to continue their legacy of quality and craft.
