Half the jitters. All the morning ritual.

What changed isn't your coffee. It's the caffeine load.

If your regular cup gives you the shakes, makes your stomach turn at noon, or leaves you crashing at three, the coffee is not the issue. It is the caffeine load you used to handle in your forties.

You can give up coffee. Most people who try last about six weeks before the morning ritual wins. Or you can swap to a cup that delivers the same wake, the same flavor, the same first-sip moment, with the edge taken off the chemistry.

That is what this page is about. A specialty roast with a measured amount of hemp extract, designed so the cup feels like coffee used to feel.

What we actually do to the bean.

We take specialty-grade beans, the kind a roaster would compete with, and we add a measured amount of hemp extract. It does not get you high. It does not numb you. It takes the edge off the caffeine. The result is a coffee that wakes you up the way you remember it used to.

The hemp goes onto the bean during the roast, not as an oil sprayed on after. That matters for two reasons. First, it bonds into the bean's cellular structure, so the dose stays even from the first cup of the bag to the last. Second, there is no oily residue, no separation, no funny aftertaste. You taste the coffee.

The hemp itself is broad-spectrum, which means the THC has been removed entirely. Every batch is verified at the analytical detection limit by an independent lab. Non-detect, every time.

The bean is the product. The hemp is the accent.

Buddha Beans starts at SCA 80+ specialty grade. That is the floor. A trained Q-grader scores raw coffee on a 100-point scale across aroma, flavor, acidity, body, balance, sweetness, and clean cup. Anything below 80 is commodity coffee. Anything above is specialty. Most American supermarket coffee is 78. Most fast-casual cafe coffee is 81 to 83. Our floor is 80, and the lots we ship more often score 84 to 87.

Every coffee is single-origin and single-farm where possible. Colombia comes from the Huila department. Mexico comes from Chiapas. Burundi comes from a cooperative in the Kayanza province. We buy directly through importers we have used since 2018, which means we know the farmer, the elevation, the picking date, and the dry mill that processed the lot.

Two of the lines, the Organic Colombia and the Mexico, carry the USDA Organic seal. That means no synthetic pesticides, no synthetic fertilizers, certified through annual audits.

The company has been operating since 2018. Marc Narrie is the founder, the roaster, and the person who answers the phone. The Culver City roastery has been at 10008 National Boulevard since the move from San Diego. Eight years is a long time in a category that ate its young between 2018 and 2024.

Bring the lab report to your doctor.

This is the biggest reason new customers hesitate, and it is the right thing to hesitate about. You take prescription medications. You want to know exactly what is in the bag before you put it next to those prescriptions on your kitchen counter.

Every batch of Buddha Beans coffee is tested by an independent ISO 17025-accredited laboratory before it leaves the roastery. The test panel covers eleven cannabinoids, sixty-six pesticides, four heavy metals, five mycotoxins, twenty-one residual solvents, and the standard microbial screen. The certificate of analysis for every batch is published online, downloadable as a PDF, indexed by the batch ID printed on your bag.

Print one out and bring it to your doctor before you start. We support that. If your doctor has a question that needs more detail than the published COA, call the roastery and we will email the raw lab data the same business day.

Three coffees worth starting with.

If you already know coffee, you will recognize the structure of these. Single-origin Colombia in three preparations: full decaf, half-caf, and full caffeine. Same farms, same roastery, same lab panel. Pick the one that fits the cup of the day.

What customers say in their own words.

Every quote below is verbatim from a verified buyer review on the live store. Names abbreviated to first name and last initial.

Two hundred and twenty-one verified reviews across thirty products. Average 4.90 out of 5. The full review pool lives on the product pages where each coffee is sold.

Why this coffee belongs in your morning.

One note on the bag itself.

A handful of customers have told us the pull-tab opening on the resealable bag is narrower than they would like, especially when scooping a tablespoon out of a fresh bag. They are right. The next packaging run, scheduled for later this year, opens the tab wider and adds a printed batch ID on the back where it is easier to find. Until then, if a wider opening would help, ask for a complimentary scoop with your first order and we will tuck one in the box.
