Passionate about roasting, training, and developing palates
Clay Eiland founded EILAND Coffee Roasters in June of 1998. He has always used old-world technology to produce some of the best coffee in the South. Clay was fortunate to acquire a Probat 1969 UG-22, a full cast-iron roaster, in 2009. Many consider this to be the best coffee roaster ever made. In 2012, after spending some time at the Synesso espresso machine factory in Seattle, WA, Clay took on Synesso distributorship for north Texas and Austin. Synesso produces not only the most temperature stable machines on the market, but also ones with the highest levels of craftsmanship. Clay's dedication to quality is best demonstrated by the coffee that ends up in hands of customers. In early 2013, Clay became the first speciality coffee roaster in north Texas to pass the Q Grader exam (www.coffeeinstitute.org). Being the only person his class to pass the vigorous testing that week, Clay was among the 5-10% of examinees who pass in their first week. Instead of latching onto industry trends, Clay's philosophy of roasting focuses on bringing out the fullness of every different type of coffee by crafting a perfect balance of sweetness, acidity, body, and roundness. He believes that coffee should be enjoyed and valued as a whole, not just for tasting notes.

What Texans are saying
Out of all the decaf coffee's I've tried with Texas Coffee this is in the top 5, maybe the top 3. It has been months since I enjoyed this coffee but I remember. The notes were so rich and full. The coffee notes came through at different temperatures of my drinking, as it cooled a nother note would come through...it was delicious even when it had cooled down. Looking forward to ordering this one again after I've tried the decaf lineup.
Darkly sweet (but not too dark) caramel after taste, with a great mouth feel. Had a perfect cup from my V60, and I am really enjoying this roast. This is a great cup of coffee.
