Distant Lands Coffee

Distant Lands Coffee has been producing specialty coffee for more than 45 years, according to its site. The company owns its own plantation in Costa Rica, and the Tyler facility has roasted beans from that farm for about twenty-five years.

The Tyler site is a wholesale operation, with loading docks and an office staff (Marsha is a name customers mention). It isn't set up as a café. Truck drivers picking up loads should plan for load times that can run three to six hours, tight parking and no overnight parking.

It's a good fit for wholesale buyers who want coffee from a farm the roaster owns.
