Our story

Born in 432 square feet

Started in a small North Carolina apartment (432 square feet, to be exact), La Selva Coffee epitomizes what it means to be a scrappy startup.

Why “La Selva”?

Our organization is fierce and knows what it means to navigate the harsh jungle of business.

We want to give you the energy and motivation you need to conquer your day.

A quality coffee experience

The difference is quality

At La Selva Coffee, we pride ourselves on quality beans, a fresh roast, and amazing customer service.

Quality Beans

We use high quality coffee beans that house a robust flavor profile. Many are organically farmed, and we source them from a number of different origins, each with its own distinct flavor.

Whole Bean Espresso Standard

Fresh Roasted

Very few coffee companies can say their coffee is truly fresh roasted. La Selva Coffee is roast-to-order and hand packaged, so the flavors are strong and crisp in your cup.

About the founder & CEO

Samuel Buchanan

Founder & CEO, La Selva Coffee

Samuel Buchanan is a true adventurer. At the age of 22, he spent the better part of nine months exploring South America. After time in the Atacama Desert, marveling at the wonders of Machu Picchu, and camping for several days in the Amazon, he learned a great deal about the richness of South American cuisine—but his favorite was his morning cup of coffee.

Upon returning to the United States, Samuel graduated from Wake Forest University with a degree in International Business and Spanish, and went on to earn a master’s in Business Management. He made it his mission to bring the great flavors of South America to the US, one cup at a time!

Our commitment to growth

Supporting the small cubs of the world

Yes, our coffee is fresh, and yes, it sets us apart—but what we really love to see is others succeed. We know what it’s like to be just starting out, so we sponsor local and small businesses, artists, musicians, schools, and social groups on our website and social media accounts. We let the world know who they are, and we promote their brand with our coffee.
