Our Journey to Becoming America's Preferred Arabica Coffee Brand
At the Heart of General Warfield’s Coffee is a Love Story:
At General Warfield’s Coffee, every cup tells a story of love, resilience, and passion for crafting specialty-grade, low-acid coffee from ethically sourced beans. Our brand is inspired by the fictional General Warfield, a character renowned for his boldness, class, and compassion. Choosing peace and love over war, he embarked on a new mission with his wife to explore and discover the world's finest coffee.
This narrative mirrors the real-life story of John and Onome Warfield, who, despite being oceans apart due to the pandemic (in 2020) and political challenges, never lost faith in their love or their dream. Their unwavering commitment to each other and their business is what makes General Warfield's Coffee not just a brand, but a testament to the power of perseverance and unity.
During a time when the world stood still, faced with the uncertainties of a pandemic and the complexities of international politics, John and Onome's separation across continents tested their resolve. This period, though challenging, underscored the essence of what General Warfield stands for—boldness in the face of adversity, the class in maintaining dignity and respect, and compassion towards each other and their community. Drawing strength from their fictional muse and their unwavering love, they continued to operate General Warfield's Coffee, bridging distances with their passion for coffee and shared dreams.
Now reunited in Maryland, John and Onome bring their passion for high-altitude, small-batch coffee to life, crafting blends that showcase their dedication to ethical sourcing, sustainability, and exceptional flavor. This journey from being apart to working side by side in Maryland is a cornerstone of their brand, symbolizing that together, they are unstoppable.
"Our journey, much like General Warfield's, is a testament to what can be achieved when love leads the way. From battling separation to brewing the finest coffee, we stand together, dedicated to offering you not just a product, but a piece of our heart, our history, and our relentless spirit. Join us in savoring a cup of coffee that's brewed with passion, resilience, and the joy of rekindled unity." - John and Onome Warfield
