Brewing Tradition by the Can: The Story of Ralph’s Coffee Co.

Ralph’s Coffee Co. is more than coffee — it’s a tribute to heritage and the legacy of Chincoteague Island. Inspired by my great-grandfather Ralph E. Watson, founder of the Ralph E. Watson Oyster Co., this brand was born from the discovery of one of his original oyster cans. What many see as relics, we see as living history — reminders of grit, craftsmanship, and tradition. Ralph’s Coffee Co. carries that story forward, blending timeless design with coastal roots, poured fresh into every cup.
