Blessed Grounds
Blessed Grounds is the result of a vision we received from God to start roasting coffee. We saw our coffee being a source of hope to people both here in Tucson, Arizona and around the world.
Globally, we combat poverty within coffee producing communities by DIRECTLY TRADING with farmers and cooperatives, allowing exponentially more income to stay in those communities.
Locally, we impact our communities by DONATING 5% of our retail income to multiple charities targeting a variety of social issues.
Individually, we enhance the lives of our consumers by only roasting additive-free, SPECIALTY GRADE beans, the highest quality coffee available, worldwide.
Help us spread hope as you TASTE & SEE what coffee can be!
QUALITY
Blessed Grounds only buys, roasts and sells Specialty Grade coffee, free of any additives or chemical flavorings, but what exactly qualifies our coffee as “specialty”?
Every coffee in the world can be evaluated on a 0 to 100 scale. Based on numerous criteria, all coffees receiving a cup score of 80 or above by coffee professionals known as Q-graders are considered ‘Specialty Grade’. Achieving this ‘Specialty’ grading requires that the highest quality standards are applied by our team at every level of the coffee supply chain, helping to guarantee that our coffee will deliver the most satisfying natural flavors and aromatics you have ever encountered.
TRANSPARENCY
The vast majority of coffee farmers have long operated at objective poverty levels. With the price of coffee hitting a 12-year low in 2018, the near-zero profit margins of these farmers have all but vanished, forcing a growing number of them to abandon their farms and declare bankruptcy.
In an effort to combat this crisis, Blessed Grounds has committed to only sourcing our coffees through Direct Trade opportunities, which allows us to pay our farmers up to 4x what they would otherwise receive on the commodities market. So when you buy a bag of Blessed Grounds whole bean coffee and take that first delicious sip, know that you are supporting the longevity and financial security of small coffee farms and the communities that compose them, the world over.
Our coffee house is located in a little strip mall at the corner of W. Grant Rd and N. Fairview.

They are a fantastic coffee shop near Mineral City which Yelp helped me find when I visited for the big Gem and Mineral expo. I took a little walk around the corner to find the best handcrafted espresso beverage and pastries! I got a cherry turnover and raspberry filled handmade 'pop-tart' pastry my first visit and an iced americano and iced oat milk latte through two visits. Their espresso drinks are so balanced, both rich and smooth, and don't need any sugar to taste good. Their pastries are fresh and delicious, and paired really nicely with their beverages.I also got some beans (Hodos) to bring home after hearing their barista talk about the specialty grade quality beans they roast there! Also- they're beans you can feel good about, Blessed Grounds work directly with the producers to help support the farming communities they come from. So wholesome. They regularly donate some of their profits to other causes too. Already looking forward to my next visit to Tucson to visit this little coffee sanctuary again. Love you Blessed Grounds, and wishing you lots of success!

I can't thank The Lord enough for tugging at my heart to go to Blessed Grounds shop with my husband to not only enjoy some local coffee, tea and chocolate chip muffin..but to also be blessed to meet Amy, Adam and the owner himself, Jared! Amy was SO helpful and knowledgeable in all things coffee and she was freaking awesome! This coffee shop is doing some amazing work of The Lord and we highly encourage you to check them out and partake of their hand crafted coffee/teas. We need more intentional, honest, clean coffee shops like this in the world. The great conversations, swapping amazing testimonies, and purely fantastic tasting drinks we had will bring us back next time we have a load in Tucson! Thank you so much, Blessed Grounds!!

Behind my cup is their coffee grinder and their prep room. I appreciate every detail of this place- from their support of various farms, to their specialty grade coffee free of any forms of additives, to their quality control and roast and grind from green bean to coffee, their biodegradable cups- it’s all amazing. I’m not even a coffee person and this has opened new doors for me, and I’m excited for them to be shared with others.

Best coffee in Tucson and I've been to them all. While the others are great as well - so I won't list them to convey any negativity - I can say that Blessed Grounds is my favorite. Each roast is an adventure and must be experienced black. Even their decaffeinated beans have good flavor!
