Welcome to Sjö

Sjö started long before the coffee.

Jenn and Brenna met in ninth grade in Napa Valley, on a tennis court, and have been close ever since. Napa taught them early to care about how things are made.

Jenn became a scientist, building a career in oncology research. Brenna went into hospitality and landed at The French Laundry pouring coffee table-side, learning that real hospitality is excellence that doesn't announce itself.

Jenn started Sjö after tasting and researching roasters until she found a coffee she'd actually want every day. Then life got busy, and it sat for a bit, until a spontaneous trip to Sweden. Then this summer she tool a last-minute trip for midsummer to see her family who spends every summer at Sjöstugan, the lake house 45 minutes North of Stockholm in the archipelago, from where the name originates. Midsummer occurs during summer solstice, everyone outside on the water until nearly midnight. Something about it made the coffee feel worth finishing. She came home and called Brenna!

That's Sjö, really. Jenn can tell you exactly why it's good. Brenna knows she wants another cup, and that's what’s important.

Sjö simply means lake, said roughly like "way." We did the research so you don't have to. Ask us about it any time, we love talking coffee. But if you're anything like us, you'd rather spend that energy on the adventures you're actually excited about!

Really good coffee. Then go have an adventure!
