The Story Behind Rose & Lois
When I became a mom, I wanted flexibility so I could be present for my kids. I also wanted to be able to show up as a good friend, daughter and sister too.
At the time, I was working in corporate sales - caught up in the daily grind - and bouncing between coffee shops to get work done. That's when I noticed my neighborhood was a coffee desert, and I decided to do something about it.
Starting Rose & Lois felt like the perfect blend: combining my passion for people with my background in beverage science.
It’s been an incredible opportunity to create a business that builds coffee and community.
Hi, I'm Rachel Priddy. Owner, Founder and Chief Flavor Expert
meet the founder
Before launching Rose & Lois, I earned my food science degree from Purdue and dove straight into the world of flavor development.
I started in a coffee and tea lab, working alongside beverage flavorists to create everything from caffeinated teas to carbonated drinks and retorted coffee beverages. I even spent a summer interning in Bremen, Germany at a beverage lab.
Later, I moved into sales, managing a territory that included Starbucks.
My background gave me insight into how flavor is built, how it travels from concept to cup and how it could be experienced.
At Rose & Lois, flavor isn't a guess - it's our passion, and we're proud to share it with you.
I'm a food scientist by education & coffee lover by passion.
