15,000 kilometers. One shared hometown. ST. ALi & Three Ships unite across the Pacific to prove that great coffee knows no borders. Welcome to a Small World.

St ALi's head roaster, Chris, is from our beloved Virginia Beach. So one time while in town visiting family, he made sure to introduce himself to our owners, Amy and Brad Ewing. Our shared passion for amazing coffee created an instant bond. From there, Small World was born. We worked enthusiastically virtually with Chris's team to create an easy-to-love roasting profile that our teams could share. Our owners had the awesome opportunity to visit Chris's team in Melbourne to make final adjustments to the roasting profile. All to ensure that a cup made from beans roasted in Melbourne tastes like one from beans roasted in Virginia Beach. 

In the cup, Small World is an indulgent, quietly nostalgic experience. The Ethiopia's lush natural process brings a cooked stone-fruit sweetness and juicy depth, while the Colombia's bright citric lift and caramel warmth round everything out into something unmistakably reminiscent of canned peaches and pastel de nata — that soft, custardy richness with a golden, caramelised edge. It's a blend that rewards slow mornings and unhurried sips, equally at home as a filter or a milk-based espresso drink. Comforting, complex, and just a little bit magical.
