George Howell, founder of the Coffee Connection and all-around coffee cognoscente, is out to turn our morning cup of joe into a gastronomic experience. Founded in 2004, George Howell’s Terroir Coffee Company, in Acton, is devoted to bringing the coffees of the world to the commuters of New England.

We were excited to see that we were mentioned in the May Issue of Continental Airlines Magazine.  They had a few questions for George about brewing espresso.  Here's a clip of what they had to say about us.

We called George Howell. The owner of Terroir Coffee, a mail-order outlet that roams the world in search of good beans from the very best farms, Howell previously owned a 24-store chain called the Coffee Connection. So he knows his joe.

Terroir appeared on Splendid Table on Tuesday December 13th on their annual Gift Pick List! Here is what Lynne from Splendid Table had to say about us.

Coffee today is more and more about specifics and philosophy. That is individual beans from specific growers. George Howell's Terroir Coffee Company offers single-bean coffees selected for their character and quality. They come from small farms, from maverick growers who raise coffee for quality rather than quantity. In today's coffee market this is definitely moving against the current. Howell goes one step further. Each bean is roasted differently to bring out its individuality. You will be happily surprised at what a light roast does to a coffee bean. This is what to give to the pickiest of coffee mavens.

We'd like to thank Lynne and everyone over at NPR for the support!
