About Lori Collins

Veteran Made we are the oldest coffee roasting company in Savannah and Georgia. Founded in 1909 by Edgar Morrison at 130 Bay Street Savannah. For more than 100 years, we have perfected the art of roasting coffee. the following poem was illustrated in the Spice magazine around 1915.There is something magical about the effects of a cup of good coffee.It has gathered to itself the glory of Southern suns and the mystery of tropic nights.It has been wooed by the winds of romance and lulled by the songs of the Seven Seas.It recalls the music of soft tongues, the melody of strange instruments and the rhythm of languorous dances.It has seen the droop of dark eyes, the deep flush of olive cheeks and love songs fell upon the palpitating night.No wonder it conveys to the senses the subtle perfume of surcharged blooms, the rare memoirs of wondrous journeying and the romantic fragrance of exotic and opulent nature.”
