Quarter Life Coffee was set up by four friends with an average age of 25, all former colleagues at The Tiny Roaster, who decided to channel their quarter life energy into building a roastery centered on awareness and appreciation for specialty coffee. The operation began as a roast to order online business before opening a physical home inside a shipping container at DECK, the modular art space on Prinsep Street near Bugis, around August 2019. Quarter Life works exclusively with single origins rather than blends, believing each coffee deserves to express the story of its region, terroir, and the people who produced it. The team sources through ethical exporters and travels to origin regularly, turning each trip into both a sourcing mission and content for their online coffee publication, where they share brewing guides and producer stories.
