When Dan Randall first started coffee roasting 15 years ago, it was with one intention - to create the kind of gourmet, naturally grown coffee he loved.

Many companies say they're going for the most natural sources, but Green Star coffee is one of the few that brews all their coffees with only the finest naturally grown ingredients, and, in the end, the state speaks for itself. Coming in a variety of delicious flavors, Green Star's 100 percent Arabica brew is one coffee people of any taste or attitude can enjoy.

Though the Roasted Bean in Santa Ynez has always been a hub of coffee-related activity in the small town, its new owner, Trace Eubanks, is adding items to the menu and striving to make the shop a true center for the community.
