What is specialty coffee?

Specialty coffee is high-quality coffee that has been sourced and roasted with a focus on excellence and uniqueness. It involves coffee beans that have been grown in specific regions under optimal conditions, harvested at peak ripeness, and processed with care to preserve their flavors.

Why is sustainability important?

Sustainability keeps coffee thriving for generations. It's about protecting the environment, supporting farmers, and ensuring fairness from farm to cup.

What does roasted to order mean?

"Roasted to order" means that the coffee beans are roasted specifically for each customer's order rather than being pre-roasted and sitting on shelves until purchased. This ensures that the coffee is as fresh as possible when it reaches your doorstep.

What is the difference between light, medium, and dark roast?

  • Light roast: preserves more of the bean's original flavors and acidity. These beans typically have fruity or floral notes.
  • Medium roast: these beans will have a more balanced profile with notes of chocolate or brown sugar.
  • Dark roast: brings out more caramelized sugars and creates a bolder, richer, flavor profile. Common notes are dark chocolate, caramel, or toasted nuts.

How long do coffee beans stay fresh?

Coffee bean freshness peaks between 2-4 weeks after the roasting date. Whole beans tend to stay fresh longer than ground coffee because they have less surface area exposed to air. To maximize freshness, it's important to store coffee beans properly in an airtight container, away from light, heat, and moisture.
