I recently started to figure out what coffee I want to use as my "go to beans". Most local roaster around here tell me something about them on their websites.
I'm looking at one right now, and they have some photos of their operations and how they work. They even have some info on how they travel to their producers (not that I read all that, but nice).
And that's what I'm missing from your site. I mean, I will not read that epic 10 page story of how you discovered your spiritual calling but actually tells me little to nothing about your operation. But how about having some hard facts: Where do you ship from? Can I buy the coffee at a local shop? How is the coffee roasted? Do you roast yourself or are you a reseller? What's your roasting process? You already differentiate the different kinds of roast, why not add some info like time and temperature? We are hackers, we love that hard data that would confuse "mere mortals".
Judging from your website, you might have the orders dropshipped from somewhere in SEA or you could be a manufactory somewhere in the US with a dedicated team of coffee experts and an incredible roasting process with every order freshly roasted. It's impossible to say.
Also, my preferred supplier offers various trial packages of 4x9oz (and a bigger 8x9oz) with some discount applied. So I can order that, see which roasts I like most and then get those in their bigger 35oz packages. At the previous job, they would regularly deliver us 20 of the big packages; though I am not sure if that was a fixed arrangement or someone was tasked with ordering the big load of coffee on demand. Either offering might be something for you.
I got a name: "Product #12648430" (= 0xc0ffee)

I'll add it to the ideas list and keep your attribution noted if it ends up on a coffee.
