Carmel

Mystic Monk Coffee hails from Meeteetse, Wyoming, where a community of monks has been hand-roasting for over 15 years—starting, legend has it, with a cast-iron pan. Today they run customized old-world cast-iron roasters, turning out light-to-dark roasts, single origins, blends, and flavored coffees that have earned them over 30,000 reviews. They offer a Coffee of the Month and Flavor of the Month club for the adventurous, plus subscribe-and-save on staples. No cafe (reviewers keep asking), but they ship nationwide. The philosophy? Coffee roasted with love and prayers, and it shows—the beans come through clean, not burnt or bitter. Monastic perfection in every cup, no habit required.
