Melissa’s Meets Its Match in Herb House: A Collaboration That Brings Fresh Craft to Coffee

Los Angeles, CA – Melissa’s Produce, known for curating the world’s finest fruits and vegetables, has partnered with Herb House Coffee Roasters to launch a new premium offering that extends the brand’s dedication to freshness into the world of coffee. The result: Melissa’s x Herb House Huila Single-Origin Coffee, a radiant roast that celebrates altitude, transparency, and sensory depth.

“Melissa’s met our match when we met Herb House,” says Robert Schueller, Director of Public Relations at Melissa’s. “They treat coffee like we treat produce with integrity, care, and a deep respect for where it comes from. This collaboration is a natural pairing of passion and craftsmanship.”

Grown in the misty highlands of Huila, Colombia, the single-origin beans thrive in rich volcanic soil and a cool mountain climate. These conditions allow each bean to ripen slowly, developing a remarkable balance of flavor and brightness. The result is a smooth, layered cup with notes of milk chocolate, roasted almonds, and a hint of orange blossom, reflecting both the precision of cultivation and the artistry of roasting.

Washed and sun-dried with care, each batch of Huila Single-Origin Coffee honors both tradition and environment, bridging Melissa’s expertise in sourcing globally and Herb House’s mastery in roasting locally. The collaboration represents a shared commitment to quality from farm to cup, supporting small growers and showcasing the craftsmanship that defines both brands.

The new Melissa’s x Herb House Huila Single-Origin Coffee is available now in whole-bean form for retail, foodservice, and online purchase through Melissas.com and participating specialty retailers.
