An obsession with freshness and a crowdsourcing campaign in 2015 gave birth to Patriot Coffee, the first small batch coffee roaster in Lakeland, Florida. Patriot Coffee sources specialty grade Arabica coffee beans from around the world. They put the beans through a detailed roasting process that combines a little chemistry, math, and art. They roast to order in small batches every Wednesday and ship the beans on Thursdays. Patriot also maintains a blog focused on creating and supporting a coffee culture in Lakeland. --- LkldTV amplifies the diverse voices of the Lakeland community by sharing compelling hyperlocal stories that inform, entertain, inspire and transport.
