Coffee & Tea made in Ohio

Coffee and tea plants do not grow in Ohio's climate, so the beans and leaves come from other countries. What is Ohio-made is the work in the middle: sourcing, roasting, blending and packing, done in small batches by local roasters.

That is a fair thing to buy, and a roaster that is open about it is a good sign. Look for a roast date on the bag, the origin of the beans, and whether the shop roasts on site.
