WHOLESALE, PRIVATE LABEL AND DROP SHIPPING SERVICES

Starting your own coffee brand allows you to share your passion for coffee with the world while building a business you truly believe in. With coffee being a daily ritual for millions, there’s constant demand and space for unique, high-quality brands—especially when you partner with a roaster who understands your vision.

We make it easy to get started with your own brand. Temecula Coffee Roasters offers private-label and white-label coffee services, meaning we roast the beans to perfection and you put your name on it. From selecting our coffee with designated roast profiles to designing your label or custom bags, we’re with you every step of the way. Even after you launch we offer business tools to help you succeed.

Yes—you absolutely can make money. Coffee has good margins and ours makes it easy to build a brand that will connect with your buyer ensuring they come back. With specialty-grade beans like ours, your product stands out in a crowded market. Whether you’re starting a local shop, building an e-commerce brand, or adding coffee to your existing business, we give you the tools to scale sustainably.

Because quality matters. All of our coffees are specialty-grade, which means they’ve been carefully sourced, roasted properly, cupped for taste approval and inspected for quality. You can be proud knowing your coffee is top-tier and sourced properly.

Yes, we do! We’ve built our roasting and fulfillment process to prioritize freshness, responsiveness, and quality. Orders are often packed and shipped the same day they’re roasted, helping us minimize storage time and deliver coffee that’s full of flavor and character. Whether you're stocking up for your shop or sending orders to your customers, we make sure everything moves fast and smooth.

Because we’re not just roasters—we’re your long-term partners. With years of experience, a focus on transparency, and unmatched quality, we’ve earned the trust of brands across the country. Whether you're just starting or scaling up, we're committed to helping you succeed.

Yes—but like any business, profitability depends on strategy and execution. With dropshipping, you skip overhead like equipment and warehouse space, but margins can be slimmer. At Temecula Coffee Roasters, we’ve seen our partners succeed by:

- Building a focused brand (e.g., eco-conscious, veteran-owned, wellness-themed)
- Offering coffee subscriptions.
- Creating strong customer loyalty through consistent quality and storytelling.

Our private-label dropshipping program makes it easier to focus on brand building, not backend logistics.

Absolutely— We have great coffee options to launch a business which is one of the core features we offer at Temecula Coffee Roasters. With our private-label program, you can:

- Upload your logo and custom bag design
- Choose one of our Coffee products, with their designated roast profile and cupping notes.
- Launch a brand without touching a single bag of coffee.

Whether you’re creating a brand from scratch or adding coffee to an existing business, we handle the roasting, packaging, and shipping—all under your name.

Marketing is where you win. At Temecula Coffee Roasters, we coach our partners to:

- Define a clear niche (e.g., fitness coffee, mental performance, adventure branding)
- Use story-driven content: Tell your audience where the beans come from and why your brand exists
- Build email and SMS lists from day one
- Offer limited drops, bundles, and seasonal promotions to create urgency

We also provide helpful guides and templates to help you hit the ground running.

Yes—selling coffee is still a food business, even if you're not roasting it yourself. Here’s what you may need:

- A business license in your city/state
- A reseller’s permit or EIN for tax purposes (Check your local tax laws)
- Make sure your packaging meets FDA labeling requirements (don’t worry—we’ll help with that)

We have no direct set up/start up costs but there will be costs associated with starting your coffee business. Creating branding and design, event equipment, website design and set up all have costs associated. Most of our brands report $1,500-$25,000 in start up costs.

Yes, a Shopify store is required. We very intentionally created our fulfillment tool to work inside of a Shopify checkout. Yes, we know there are some limitations to working with Shopify but we carefully reviewed our successful stores and those selling on Shopify overwhelmingly have lower cost per unit sold and higher success rates. We then designed the app as part of our Best Practice Model to help you succeed.

Once you have submitted the ‘Next Steps’ documents, you can begin store set up at any time. Some stores do it in as little as 48 hours, some take 45 days+ from app invite to soft launch. Your business, your timeline.

This is not a get rich quick, instant success venture. A coffee business will be as profitable as you make it. Successful brands treat it like a business, and as such, you have to work it like a new business to be successful. Following our best practice model will help you behave like a successful business and we provide all of the tools possible. In the end, only you can answer this question. Most brands make 15-35% gross margin from online sales and 45-60% from in person sales. Your retail price will directly reflect how strong your brand message is, how well buyers connect with you, how credible you appear and how well you know your product.

Yes, we are an FDA registered and FSMA compliant roaster. This means you can legally sell anywhere you like. This is what sets us apart from most roasting facilities which are unregistered. Use the BULK tab to get exact order costs and have your product delivered directly to the wholesale buyer. The BULK pricing lets you aggressively compete agains anyone in your competitive set.

No. You need to supply your own unique label for us to print. The more unique the better! Your brand design reminds the buyer why they are purchasing from your company. You can design your own label, hire an experienced designer or hire us to do it. The choice is yours. Label detail can be found on our info page.

Yes. When you are ready to take this step, let us know as we will help you evaluate the costs and benefits and make this decision. Most brands should wait until 6-12 months after hard launch to take this step. When you are ready, we have a list of approved suppliers as all printed bags must be approved before they are ordered to ensure that they meet the FDA requirements and can legally be used.

No, we believe in transparent pricing. You always know your total cost before you sell the product. The Drop ship price is an “all in” cost for your U.S. orders.

At Temecula Coffee Roasters, we roast in frequent small batches to ensure your coffee is at peak quality when it ships. Our roasting schedule is guided by customer demand, not warehouse inventory—so your coffee isn’t sitting around waiting to be sold. We are a small family business that can supply for restaurants, cafes, our own retail, and for hundreds of drop ship stores. We are one of the largest suppliers of Drop Ship coffee in the U.S. Our WHY is that we love the experience and opportunity that the coffee business has given our family and we want to share that with our employees and as many other business owners as we can. We are passionate about your business and will do everything we can to help you succeed.

We have laid it out in the ‘Next Step Guide”.

1) Attend the Thursday - New Partner ZOOM/Q&A
2) Share your business plan - this is not to qualify you, it is to help us understand exactly what you need and to provide feedback based on what is working in the current Specialty Coffee market and in your specific niche/target market. This step as well as taking the time to seriously consider how your business will succeed is the single best indicator of success. If you don’t want the help, advice or best practice recommendations, you can simply say “I prefer not to share my plan”.
3) Once we have the Next Steps documents, we will forward you an invite to the fulfillment tool - the TCR APP which is hosted as invite only in the Shopify App Store.
4) Start creating your content, building out your website and connect your store to the app by using the correct SKUS and upload your label design for each SKU you are selling.

At Temecula Coffee Roasters, we believe that specialty coffee is more than just a beverage—it's an experience. Our commitment to quality ensures that every cup tells the story of its origin, from the farm to your mug
