Us

Welcome to Blackwater Roasters!  I’m Jonboy and this is my beautiful wife, Annie. We are a home roasting company that is passionate about good coffee.  My wife and I are always on the lookout for new ways to try coffee and feel like we own 100 different ways to make it.(Some exaggeration here!) We have always loved the smell and taste of coffee!  It all started about 5 years ago in Texas, when Annie had a small espresso machine.  From there we bought a Keurig, then a Breville Barista Express, a Chemex(my daily go to), an Aeropress, a French Press and even a Turkish Ibrik.  Wherever we have traveled, from the USA to Canada and as far as Zambia, Africa, we are always in search of  amazing coffee and new ways to make it.  Just recently we decided to start roasting our own beans, and that is where Blackwater Roasters began.  Blackwater is a term used for slow moving rivers, such as the Edisto River in South Carolina. It is named such for its tannin-rich colored water, but also the peaceful rate at which the river flows. Coffee has that same tannin color to it and the aromas and taste can have that peaceful calming effect also.  We hope you enjoy our coffee as much as we do. We are just getting started and hope to be selling our roasted beans in the very near future so feel free to check back in with us.

Welcome to Blackwater Roasters!

I’m Jonboy, and this is my beautiful wife, Annie. We are a small batch roasting company that is passionate about good coffee. It all started 5 years ago in Texas, with Annie’s small espresso machine. From there we tried the Keurig for a time, and then invested in the Breville Barista Express (still working on our latte art). Nowadays, the Chemex has become our go-to, but we also sport an Aeropress, Bialetti, and a Turkish Ibrik.

Some say we have a problem, but we like to look at it as the search for the best cup of coffee possible. Thus, our latest adventure: roasting our own coffee beans! That’s where Blackwater Roasters began.

‘Blackwater’ is the word used to describe the Edisto River in our home state of South Carolina. With its tannin-rich color and its peaceful rate of flow, we felt like that sounded like the perfect cup of coffee. We hope you’ll try some Blackwater Roasters coffee with the people that you care about most, because that’s the best way to enjoy it, and that’s what makes our coffee so special. We have now progressed further and opened up a shop in Seneca, SC across from Wendys and Harbor Freight. Downstairs you will experience the small shop vibe where you can engage with our baristas, as well learn and watch the roasting process that happens every week. Upstairs and outside we have comfortable seating areas to enjoy your coffee, work on school/business work, or even meet and hang out with friends!

Come for the Coffee, Stay for the Company.
