Out Of The Grey Coffee

Overview

Out Of The Grey is a custom small-batch specialty roaster and loose-leaf tea merchant founded by Jack "Java Jack" Barton and Sheila Marie, originally as a cafe-and-roastery in Erie/Fairview, Pennsylvania, before relocating to Tobacco Row Mountain in Virginia. Every order is roast-to-order and ships within 24 hours of the roast in nitrogen-flushed one-way valve bags.

Known for

  • Roast-to-order, ships within 24 hours
  • 56+ single-origin coffees in active rotation
  • 179 custom blended varieties
  • Low-acid coffee specialization
  • Chemical-free natural-method decaf

Why it matters

Few US specialty roasters operate at this catalog breadth — 179 blended varieties alongside 56+ single origins is unusual, and the explicit 24-hour-from-roast shipping window is a freshness commitment most micro-roasters don't quantify publicly. The low-acid specialization fills a niche underserved by light-roast third-wave operations.
