FAQs
1. Where is Cafe Tolento located?
Cafe Tolento is located in Northwest Ohio at 12860 W TR 114, Building A, Fostoria, Ohio. This countryside location allows the brand to stay close to both its partner hives (MBK) and its roasting operation, keeping production hands‑on and highly controlled. Being based in Fostoria also supports a strong local community connection, from collaborating with neighboring businesses to educating customers about coffee, honey, and pollinator health. While the physical address anchors the brand, Cafe Tolento’s products are crafted with the intention of serving coffee and honey lovers well beyond Ohio through online access and thoughtful shipping.
2. Where does Cafe Tolento source honey from?
Cafe Tolento sources honey exclusively from The Mindful Beekeeper LLC (themindfulbeekeeper.com), working with a single primary beekeeper partner. This single‑source approach means the honey used in Tolento™ Coffee Infused Honey and Café Miel is traceable back to specific apiaries and hives, rather than blended from anonymous bulk suppliers. The Mindful Beekeeper prioritizes colony health and practices “sustainability from rescue to harvest,” removing only surplus honey so that bees retain what they need to thrive. This relationship ensures the honey is not only high‑quality and flavorful, but also produced in a way that aligns with Cafe Tolento’s values of transparency, environmental stewardship, and respect for honeybee colonies.
3. Where does Cafe Tolento source coffee from?
Cafe Tolento sources green coffee beans from farmers and co‑ops around the world, with a commitment that every lot is either Fair Trade or Rainforest Alliance certified. These certifications help ensure that growers receive more equitable compensation and that farms meet specific environmental and social standards. By focusing on ethically sourced coffees, Cafe Tolento can build coffee‑honey products that taste exceptional while also supporting long‑term agricultural sustainability and better livelihoods at origin. Each new coffee used in Tolento™ Coffee Infused Honey is chosen only after weeks of in‑house testing, so the final selection reflects both ethical sourcing and a flavor profile that harmonizes with raw honey.
4. Does Cafe Tolento roast coffee?
Yes. All coffee used in Cafe Tolento products is small‑batch roasted in‑house to carefully targeted roast degrees that bring out the best possible flavor in both the coffee and the honey. Roasting in small batches allows fine‑tuning of roast curves, charge temperatures, and development time, so each coffee can be dialed in to highlight notes that pair beautifully with honey—such as chocolate, caramel, nuts, and subtle fruit. This in‑house roasting also ensures tight control over freshness: green coffee is roasted close to production, then infused under a gentle process that respects the natural character of both ingredients. The result is a coffee component that is not generic or outsourced, but a signature roast designed specifically for Tolento™ Coffee Infused Honey and Café Miel.
5. Who is the owner of Cafe Tolento?
Cafe Tolento is owned and led by Joshua Tolento, a seasoned beekeeper and home coffee roaster who has spent years refining both crafts under professional guidance. Joshua’s beekeeping experience informs every decision about honey selection, hive health, and timing of harvest, ensuring that only surplus, responsibly gathered honey is used in the products. At the same time, his dedication to coffee—studying roasting, tasting, and extraction—shapes the way each coffee is chosen and roasted for Tolento’s infusions. Cafe Tolento reflects this dual expertise: it is built by someone who understands both sides of the equation, from the bees in the apiary to the beans in the roaster and the final experience in your cup.
