"Though their Milky Way Nitro Cold Coffee has star power on its own (it’s brewed hot over ice and then hit with nitrogen for texture), Retrograde is also notable for being the first Certified Green coffee roaster and cafe in Sonoma County. So besides having recyclable or compostable packaging, they donate chaff from the roasting process to a chicken farm to use as bedding and turn coffee grounds into compost. And they pay more than the Fair Trade price for their coffee beans sourced from places like Ethiopia, Costa Rica, and Chiapas, Mexico. Pop in for a to-go pour over, a Yama Japanese cold brew jasmine tea, or a latte flavored with matcha, beets, or charcoal and rose syrup." - Maria C. Hunt
