About Us

Our Blend Coffee & Roastery was founded by Tanisha, Stacey, and Amanda—three women whose lives were transformed through both coffee and community. We first connected through a nonprofit organization where we not only learned the craft of coffee roasting and service, but also discovered the power of support, recovery, and empowerment.


As women in recovery, we understand firsthand the importance of having a safe space to grow, heal, and rebuild. The skills and encouragement we received became the foundation of our independence, and now, through Our Blend, we are carrying that mission forward.


Our Blend exists to empower and support women who are seeking to rebuild their lives, advance their working skills, and find independence in a nurturing environment. Every bean we roast and every bag we share carries with it a story of resilience and hope.


This is more than coffee—it’s about creating opportunities, building confidence, and giving women in recovery the chance to thrive, one step at a time. Together, we are not just roasting coffee, we are roasting a future filled with strength, purpose, and community.


OUR BLEND: Where Community, Courage & Coffee UNITE!
