The Independence Coffee Co. Story
Ragan and Christi Bond, who got married at the age of 20 during their sophomore year at Texas State University, graduated together in 1987 with BBA (Marketing) degrees. The couple's journey in the coffee roasting business began almost by accident. After Ragan spent 15 years as a commodities trader in the energy sector, the Bonds moved their family from Houston to the small town of Brenham, Texas. In 2001, Christi Bond and her sister opened a small coffee shop called Main Street Coffee & Trading/Independence Coffee Co., and Ragan started roasting coffee for their shop in his garage. That first year, Ragan roasted 1,800 lbs. of coffee on a 10 lb. Ambex roaster.
The Growth of Independence Coffee Co.
In 2018, Christi and Ragan opened a specialty coffee and tea retail destination in Brenham, Texas, called Black Truck '48 Coffee & Tea Market. The name pays homage to the 1948 Ford black truck the Bonds originally used for coffee delivery, which is pictured on Independence Coffee bags. In 2019, Christi and Ragan Bond were named SBA Persons of the Year for Texas. Together with their growing team of 32, they custom and craft roasted a record 700,000 lbs. of coffee in 2019. Moving forward, Independence Coffee Co. continues to innovate by replacing their current single-serve cups with new coffee pods.
The Independence Roasting Process
Independence Coffee Co. has only three roasters on staff, with the original roaster training the other two in all facets of the roasting and blending process. This ensures that each batch of coffee is roasted the same way, every single time. While others may roast in large batches with minimal variance, the 'Independence Roast' uses time and temperature to guide each roast through several stages, creating a deep-roasted coffee that enhances the coffee experience.
Lasting Freshness and Commitment to the Community
Independence Coffee's 50-count cases are individually wrapped and flushed with nitrogen, allowing each to have a one-year expiration date. The company's commitment to the local community is evident in its partnerships, such as the Baylor Park Project, the Brenham High School Special Needs Program, and the Boys & Girls Club of Washington County.
In conclusion, Independence Coffee Co. is a woman-owned, Texas-based business that roasts and blends high-quality coffees while maintaining a strong connection to its local community. Its dedication to freshness, consistency, and social responsibility sets it apart in the specialty coffee market.
