George Howell & Terroir Coffees
George Howell Coffee Company (GHCC) is located in Acton, MA, where former owner of the Coffee Connection, George Howell roasts top quality coffee. George is a world-renowned authority on quality coffee. He opened the first Coffee Connection in 1974 and had a loyal following of those who truly enjoy good coffee and espresso. After selling the Coffee Connection to Starbucks in the early 1990s George co-founded the Cup of Excellence, which is a program designed to help break the commodity/price cycle in the specialty coffee industry. Several years after that, George started roasting again, and developed the Terroir line of single-origin light roasted coffees. You can always find one of these single-origin coffees being brewed in Crema, along with our House Vienna Roast from the GHH Select line. In addition, you can find a broad selection of whole bean Terroir and GHH Select coffees sold at the cafe.
