ABOUT US

When founder Blake Carlson got his first barista job at just 17 years old, he quickly realized he had a passion about the journey of coffee - from the farms and processing, to the affect it had on people and communities. Blake found his niche in roasting and set out to learn all he could about the process on his own. 

He began with a popcorn air popper and after a few "horrific failures,” Blake learned to master the variables of roasting and eventually graduated to a small drum roaster. After perfecting his craft he decided to open his own roasting business with his wife, Jaime. They launched Integrity Coffee Roasting in 2017, in small town Redding, CA. From there they grew into a well known local company that sold not just great coffee but great experiences. 

Integrity Coffee was birthed out of a passion for coffee, people, and community. Today it is still 100% family owned and operated in the Louisville, KY metro area, with a dream of becoming a larger influence on the coffee culture and community in our surrounding area.
