Southern Oregon's coffee story
Medford's longest-established name in our research is Mellelo, which dates to 1992, so it has been roasting in Medford for more than three decades.
Roseburg's roaster has a different kind of history behind it. Takelma Roasting Co belongs to the Cow Creek Band of Umpqua Tribe of Indians, and the name Takelma comes from the tribe's traditional language. A bag from Takelma comes from a business run by the people whose language gave it its name.
Across the region the roasters are spread out: a handful in Medford, a couple each in Grants Pass, Roseburg and Klamath Falls, and a few in the smaller towns. None of these towns has three roasters we have facts on, so they share this page.
