Bold Coffee. Sharp Wit. No Apologies.

We Started This Because Bad Coffee Is an Insult

"Smartass" isn't just a brand name — it's a family word. My dad used it constantly, and in our house, it was a compliment. It meant you were sharp, you didn't settle, and you called things like you saw them.

That's exactly the kind of coffee we make.

Smartass Coffee and Tea's was born in Mt. Juliet, TN by someone who got tired of mediocre coffee masquerading as "good enough." Life's too short for burnt, bitter, or bland. So we did something about it.

What Makes Our Coffee Different

We don't do average. Every coffee we carry is:

• Specialty grade — scoring 80+ on the SCA scale, meaning only the top tier makes the cut
• Single origin or small batch — so you taste the place, not just the roast
• Carefully sourced — from farms and cooperatives that treat their land and people right
• Roasted to highlight flavor, not hide it — no over-roasting to mask defects here

Our Sourcing Philosophy

We believe great coffee starts long before it hits your cup. We source from regions known for exceptional growing conditions — where altitude, soil, and climate do the heavy lifting. We partner with suppliers who share our obsession with quality and our respect for the craft.

From bean to brew, every step matters.

The Brand

Smartass isn't just a name — it's a mindset. It means you ask questions, you demand better, and you refuse to settle. Whether you're a pour-over purist, a cold brew devotee, or a tea drinker who knows what they want — you belong here.

Bold. Witty. Premium. That's us.
