Creative Coffees is a Kentucky-based specialty coffee roastery that has been operating since 2005, founded by Debbie Hohman with a mission of "Providing Great Coffee Experiences." The company is located in Winchester, Kentucky, and all of their products are certified Kentucky Proud, reflecting their commitment to supporting local business and agriculture.
Creative Coffees is intentional about every aspect of their coffee production, from sourcing to the finished product. They exclusively purchase 100% Arabica Specialty Grade Coffee, as defined by the Specialty Coffee Association, consisting of coffees scoring between 80 and 100 on a 100-point scale. These premium coffees are grown at high altitudes by owners of small farms and cooperatives in Central and South American countries, ensuring both quality and ethical sourcing practices.
The company's roasting operation emphasizes consistency and quality through the use of trained roasters and American-made roasting equipment that operates in tandem with high-quality software. Each roast follows a computer profile created and saved specifically for each coffee type, making the finished product easily repeatable and guaranteeing consistency in quality. This technical approach allows them to bring out the richest flavors from multiple origins of coffee from around the globe.
Creative Coffees roasts and packages coffee within days of delivery to customers, using heat-sealed packaging with degassing valves to protect the freshness and integrity of their coffee. They maintain a strict policy of never warehousing coffee products, ensuring maximum freshness for every order. The company opened their dedicated roastery facility in Winchester, Kentucky in 2009, which has allowed them to maintain excellent quality control and customer service.
Since 2005, Creative Coffees has provided schools and nonprofits with fundraising opportunities using their private label products, offering 30% profit with 100% customer satisfaction. They have expanded their services to include wholesale coffee, corporate gifts, custom labeling options, and business and restaurant service. The company offers a comprehensive product line including specialty coffees, mountain water processed decaf options, coffees of origin, flavored coffees, single-serve options, espresso creations, instants, teas, and merchandise.
Creative Coffees operates with a customer-centric philosophy, striving to make all customers feel like friends and family, believing that a satisfied customer is their best advertisement.
