Tolento Coffee Roasters

Tolento Coffee Roasters is run by Josh Tolento as a brand of The Mindful Beekeeper, his honeybee rescue business in northwest Ohio. The two sides fit together: MBK relocates honeybee colonies calmly and only takes surplus honey from the hives, and Tolento pairs that honey with small-batch coffee to make coffee-infused honey, each jar traceable to its single-origin coffee farm and the seasonal batch of honey it came from. On the coffee side, Tolento buys only Fair Trade or Rainforest Alliance certified green coffee and tests roasts for weeks before a coffee is sold. Every batch is roasted in house in northwest Ohio, profiled for its origin, and tracked with roast data from roast to pour, and coffee is roasted daily and shipped or delivered locally the same day whenever possible.
