Black & White Coffee Roasters
North Carolina roaster founded by two US Barista Champions.
Black & White Coffee Roasters was founded in North Carolina in 2017 by Kyle Ramage and Lem Butler, both United States Barista Champions, giving the young company instant competition pedigree. The brand pairs that technical credibility with an intentionally approachable, playful identity aimed at making high-end coffee less intimidating. Black & White has continued to perform strongly in national competitions while expanding its café and wholesale presence, embodying a wave of championship-led roasteries.
