ABOUT BLIND TIGER COFFEE

Hello there! BLIND TIGER COFFEE is a coffee roaster/coffee catering company that has been in operation since 2013, based in Bethlehem, PA since 2025. We love sweet coffees and coffees that have personality. By most folks standards, we roast coffee that tends to be medium-light/light-medium in profile. Ultimately, though, we prefer to let our tongues and noses dictate where the roast goes and not color. The world of coffee is a vast one and choices can be staggering sometimes. To help cut through the potential noise, we prefer to keep our offerings to two mainstay blends and a few limited releases that phase in and out every six-ish weeks. We do our best to carry something for every type of coffee drinker.

We do our best to roast only as much as needed whenever possible to ensure you’re getting coffee that is as fresh as possible while not having a ton left over for weeks on end. As of the moment, coffee is bagged and shipped on Wednesdays. To get in on that shipping date, we ask that you place an order by midnight the Monday before. If you place an order after said deadline and we happen to have enough coffee left over, we’re happy to fulfill your order and get in the mail for you by Thursday or Friday. You will receive tracking once your order is facilitated, okay? So, this is our old policy, lol. We’re in the middle of a facility change. Accordingly, we have to tweak our order intake to prioritize wholesale partners (who earn income off of sales of our coffee). We’re currently roasting a set amount. Wholesale get’s 1st dibs on coffee and what is left over will be reflected every Tuesday online. From here, coffee will be mailed out later in the week (you’ll receive tracking notice once the order is shipped). So, keep your eyes peeled for what’s available online on Tuesday mornings. This should hopefully only last until August or September 2025… finger’s crossed. Thanks for the patience and bearing with us in this awkward in-between stage ;-)

We mail to all 50 states.

And, after long last, we’re now able to get coffee to cafes in Mexico, Canada, the EU, and the UK :)

Our Philosophy:
We want to make something.
We want you to make something.
We want you to act alive with other people in the real time...
& we truly want to help participate in an inclusive and caring community (the party is better when everyone is invited).
Maybe coffee could help with that...

We do our best to source and roast coffee that is ethically produced and paid for while keeping prices something close to (or actually?) affordable. It’s harder to do than you might think. Again, we think the coffee party is better when everyone is invited. And in reality, we think the more obvious solution is to pay workers in the US more so we can pay other workers in the coffee belt fair sums for the fruit of their labor. Coffee can feel like class war sometimes and everyone loses except folks at the top. But we don’t like that, so we’re trying to walk a fine line. (Blind Tiger is for the people, that’s why we’re Blind Tiger and not Blind Pig (look it up)) Who knows if this is working? We’ll see???Also, we’re trying to keep it sustainable. So, we use a variety of bags; some are compostable, others are carbon neutral and allegedly recyclable (and here’s to hoping your community has a healthy, honest, and reliable recycling program). And we ship via UPS and USPS cuz they’re down with unions, just like us. Okay, well, we gotta get back to work. <3 btc

Oh real quick: Land acknowledgement.
I’m back in Lenapehoking! This is is the ancestral land of the Lenape people! Ya know… when I say the coffee party is better when everyone’s invited… I’m talkin’ everybody. There’s work to do in this country… Let’s revel in the work . Let’s get better. Whatever the intentions of the founding fathers… I think we can agree that folks that drank out of lead cups every day didn’t maybe always have their heads on straight, right? We can make this thing better, we can be better, and that at least begins with addressing that at least some elements of how this nation formed were built on shaky ethical grounds. Beyond the fact that displacing people or destroying histories and customs is totally horrible, diversity of thoughts and perspectives brings people to better places. What if the Beatles only had John’s input and not George’s or Paul’s? They’d have sucked so much! Okay, not the same and mostly a joke there, but perhaps you know what I’m getting at.. Anyway, Lenapehoking. That’s where we are. We’re lucky to be here. Let’s make our communities (and our lives) bigger and better, here and everywhere.
