Black & White is a Raleigh, North Carolina roaster with a refreshingly simple creed: 'If it tastes good, it is good.' They hunt down the most interesting coffees they can find and organise them in a genuinely helpful way — by roast level and even by a 'funk' scale from clean to wild — so you know what you're getting into. New coffees drop weekly, from washed everyday lots to experimental naturals and their high-end Black Label competition coffees. There's a subscription if you'd rather explore on autopilot, plus US shipping and wholesale. A brilliant pick for adventurous drinkers who like variety and a bit of funk.
