Ben Carter

I trained as an agricultural scientist, but I eventually traded the lab for the hillside. Best decision I ever made. I've spent years visiting coffee farms across multiple continents, learning enough Spanish to get by and enough Portuguese to be dangerous. Some of my closest friendships started on those trips—farmers I still exchange messages with, whose kids I've watched grow up, whose harvest worries I hear about every season. I write because I believe every cup of coffee carries a story—of place, of season, of the family who grew it. Not as marketing copy, but as genuine connection to something real. When you taste honey sweetness or bright citrus, you're tasting someone's work, someone's home, someone's year. I want to help you taste that story. Based in New England. Probably drinking something I should've roasted days ago.
