Fusion Coffee Roasters: High Mountain Grown, South Georgia Roasted Gary and Cheri Zittrauer, owners of Fusion Coffee Roasters got into the business via love. “Our daughter in law Anna (married to son James Merritt) is from Honduras,” says Cheri, “and we went there to visit her family. We found it’s a beautiful country with amazing coffee!” Eventually they decided to get into the coffee business, bought two commercial roasters and opened a shop in Springfield. They named the business Fusion Coffee Roasters because, “The name celebrates the fusion of families and countries.”

Coffee Roasters Fusion Coffee Roasters carries only high quality arabica coffees from sustainable coffee plantations and fair trade co-ops. They artisan roast small batch, single origin coffee. They source their coffee beans from ten countries: Peru, Honduras, Guatemala, Kenya, Tanzania, Costa Rica, Papua New Guinea, Rwanda, Brazil, and Ethiopia. Fresh roasted coffee has a sweeter flavor that pulls out the nuances and flavors of the beans.

Flavor notes: Honduras: Chocolate, floral, caramel with a smooth clean finish. Papua New Guinea: Honey, pecan, starfruit melon with smooth finish. Kenya: Melon, citrus, dark currant, with a deep brown sugar finish. Peru: Honey, green apple, and cocoa with a velvety finish.
