Diedrich Coffee, Inc was the sort of start for which adventure stories are known and loved. German-born Charlotte Diedrich inherited a coffee plantation in Costa Rica in 1916. Against all odds, she made a success of it. Her son Carl later expanded the business by adding a second plantation in Antigua, Guatemala. From there, he personally transported hand-selected Arabica beans in his VW van to Orange County, giving Californians their first taste of true single origin specialty coffee. Many things have changed since Carl’s bean-hauling days, but our passionate pursuit of the world’s finest coffee remains. With exquisite single origin and exotic blends, each cup lets you experience the very best of the world’s great coffee growing regions, from the Americas, Africa and Indonesia. These are available in offices, restaurants, large and small retail shops, and online, making Diedrich Coffee, Inc. one of the largest specialty coffee roasters in the Western U.S.

With supreme good fortune, we have progressed—constantly enriching people’s lives through the experience of premium teas, education and innovation.
