Founders

What Makes  Founders Reserve Special

FARM DIRECT • CRAFT ROASTED

Founders Reserve is a culmination of everything we’ve learned since 2009, brought together in one blend and offered exclusively at Sam’s Club.

Washed and honey-processed Colombian coffees deliver brightness and structure, while well-hulled Indonesian coffee adds depth and dark fruit richness. Each cup lands with clarity, balance, and a smooth, lasting finish.

FROM OUR FOUNDERS, WITH LOVE (FOR GREAT COFFEE!)

Welcome to Red House Roasters, and thanks for choosing Founders Reserve.

We source beans directly from farms around the world and bring them to our Newark roastery, where the blend comes to life.

We’re proud to share Founders Reserve with you. Hope you love it as much as we do!

Available exclusively at  Sam's Club

When the opportunity to partner with Sam's Club in regional locations around our Newark brew house, we jumped.  Sam's Club has made a commitment to featuring local purveyors and premium products in regional locations, and for us that means multiple stores throughout the Gateway Region.

It's a chance to create retail availability across the region for like-minded consumers with high expectations for the products they choose. And now, you can order the 27-oz Founders Reserve (almost double our standard bag sizes!) directly from Sam's Club online.
