O Taste and See...
We believe that coffee in all its forms – should be an approachable and attainable luxury. Our goal is to make our freshly roasted coffee and handcrafted loose-leaf tea a memorable addition to any experience.
We certifiably have the most delicious, highest quality and truly extraordinary coffee and handcrafted loose-leaf tea on the planet!
Our story began with the desire to share with the world what God had done in our family’s life. As a family of five on track to become missionaries, our destination seemed certain. It was then a horrific car accident that re-routed us to Pennsylvania to care for my mother. To support our family during this time, we opened Out Of The Grey Coffeehouse and Café.
This felt like a logical choice because of our love for coffee and people. From these brick-and-mortar roots we established a wonderful laboratory and roastery Out Of The Grey Coffee® to evaluate new blends and flavors. We have now been able to provide beans and ground coffee to connoisseurs who appreciate choice, freshness, flavor, low-acid coffee, Fairtrade coffee, organic farming, and luxury loose-leaf teas. We do this now not only at our nine collaborations but online through our (100% in-house created, controlled, and operated) website.
What is ootgCoffee?
Out Of The Grey Coffee® is an award-winning specialty custom small batch coffee roaster and loose-leaf tea merchant based on the top of Tobacco Row Mountain, Virginia. We honor your refined taste. Whether you gravitate toward bold blends, balanced profiles, bright single origins or even handcrafted flavored coffee, we're here to guide you to your perfect cup - no matter what your coffee mood. And if you're still discovering what you love, we'll help you find it, one delicious sip at a time.
Our roasting and shipping processes are meticulously designed to ensure peak freshness. Be it blend, single origin or handcrafted flavored, every coffee receives the same level of care. Each is given a custom roast profile to unlock its fullest expression, with precise flavor targets and a rigorous scoring system to ensure consistency. We roast and ship directly from our roastery. To preserve quality and freshness, we roast to order in small batches and then send the coffee to our customers so quickly (within 24-hrs of roast) that it retains that just roasted aroma and arrives "almost still warm". In packaging the coffee, we use the highest quality block bottom and side gusseted bags with the best one-way degassing valve available. These bags also have a pull tab, which makes it easy to open and an additional internal Ziploc® for the customer to use once the original heat fused seal is broken.
We have selectively stocked over twenty-six different coffee beans from around the world and offer over 181 different coffee creations.
At the end of 2019, before the chaos of COVID-19, we purchased a Super Bee (fully enclosed) horse trailer and created a fully operational (Mobile Coffee Roasting Unit) MCRU. This vehicle has everything needed to roast, bag, and sell freshly roasted coffee and loose-leaf tea, anywhere. We are using this not only to market our brand and products to more local colleges and universities, but we now can attend events and sell the most extraordinarily freshly roasted coffee and handcrafted loose-leaf tea on the planet right out of our MCRU into the customer’s hands.
At Out Of The Grey Coffee®, a cup of great-tasting coffee is more than just a caffeine jolt. Coffee is about pleasure. It is at that moment your hand is warmed by the mug when you raise it to your nose and deeply inhale and then take a sip. This experience should be savored one sip at a time again.
Plain and simple...

We all live in a world where the truth is subjective, in the "grey area". God's Word says, "And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." John 8:32
We are called Out Of The Grey Coffee because we invite the world to come out of the grey and into the truth!
