About BlendIn
A biochemist tasted one cup of coffee that changed his life, walked away from science, and spent the next decade proving how good coffee can be.
Founded by the 2024 US Brewers Cup Champion.
It started with one magic cup.
Weihong Zhang came to the United States for a PhD in biochemistry. Coffee was a bitter energy drink until a chance cupping: a Kenya, bright with blueberry and milk chocolate. That cup showed him the difference between drinking coffee and tasting it. He left the lab, and in 2017 founded BlendIn to chase that experience and share it.

The scientist's mindset never left. Weihong designs every roast profile himself. In 2024 he won the US Brewers Cup with a fully decaffeinated Typica, a first on that stage, and represented the USA at the World Brewers Cup. He is also a long-time Best of Panama sensory judge, one of a few trusted to evaluate Panama Geisha at the highest level.

To inspire appreciation of coffee.
Four ways we live it, every day.
-
01
High-quality coffee
Every coffee we roast is traceable to a specific farm, often a specific lot, picked at peak ripeness and roasted in small batches in Houston. We pursue quality at every step, because you can taste the difference.
-
02
Inviting coffee culture
Specialty coffee can feel intimidating. It shouldn't. Our cafes and our community are built to welcome anyone who wants to spend time around great coffee, no expertise required.
-
03
Excellent customer service
From the first hello at the bar to the last sip at home, we want every interaction to feel considered. Hospitality is part of the craft.

04
Approachable education
We share what we know. Brew guides, classes, conversations at the bar. Whether you're brand new or chasing your tenth Geisha, there is always more to learn.
Four words we keep on the wall.
Quality
Sourced thoughtfully. Roasted carefully. Served at its best, every single time.
Passion
Coffee got us here. The love for the bean, the people, and the ritual is what keeps us going.
Preciseness
Grams, seconds, degrees. The small details are the difference between good and unforgettable.
Appreciation
For the farmers, the cherries, the hands and hours behind every cup. We never forget where this began and where this ends.
