The Sisters of St. Sidónia’s Monastery roast each batch by hand in small quantities, a practice the monastery traces back to coffee’s origins in monastic communities in Africa. According to monastery tradition, coffee was first discovered by a monk who noticed the energizing effect of coffee cherries on goats, and the Sisters note that the rest is history.

All four coffees in the St. Nina’s lineup are finished as medium roasts. According to Nun Better, this roast level preserves some of the bean’s origin character while still developing sweetness and roasted notes, making the coffees adaptable to a range of brewing methods, from drip and pour-over to espresso and French press.

The medium roast level still leaves room for meaningful variation between origins. Ugandan Bugisu carries notes of peach, honey, apple, and grape, while the Ethiopian Yirgacheffe is described as smooth and velvety with hints of honey, bergamot, and cardamom. The Breakfast Blend, a mix of Latin American highland coffees, is noted for a full-bodied, nutty, and chocolaty profile, and the Decaf Peruvian Amazonas offers notes of dark chocolate, brown sugar, and nuttiness, decaffeinated via the Swiss Water Process.

Each batch is roasted with what the Sisters describe as care, attention, and prayer, reflecting the monastery’s practice of working with their hands while praying with their minds. For the Sisters, roasting coffee is one of several daily obediences that support life at the monastery.

A Nun Better spokesperson said: “Their prayers and liturgies are combined with making prayer ropes, natural skin balms, and oils, mounting icons in the woodworking shop, sewing monastic and ecclesiastical garb, baking Prosphora for the Liturgy, and roasting coffee — to name a few of their obediences.”

The four medium roasts are available as whole bean in individual pouches, or through a recurring subscription. Purchases support the Sisters and the work of the monastery, Nun Better said.
