OUR ROAST PROCESS
It starts with strong relationships with the importer. They provide expertise by identifying a selection of coffees that meet our criteria. We inspect the green coffee before each batch we roast. The coffee is roasted at different roast levels to introduce intentional variation. The coffee is then carefully sampled, even soliciting feedback from customers then repeated until we find that “sweet spot” for each coffee.
We are dedicated to roasting and serving exceptional coffee. Our mission starts by purchasing coffee that has been sustainably sourced by small farmers and ensuring we pay a living wage for their services. Many coffee-growing communities do not have access to modern necessities, including safe water, basic healthcare, education, and more. We then go “full circle” by partnering with international and locally based organizations each year that will make a positive difference in people’s lives.
The quality of our coffee brings you in and our mission keeps you coming back.
FAIRLY TRADED COFFEE
We often get asked the question, “Are all of your coffees Fair Trade?” The answer is a simple yes and no. Some of our coffees carry fair trade certification while others do not. However, all of our coffees are fairly traded, whether they hold a fair trade certification or not. We believe that coffee growers should receive an honest wage for their labor, but it doesn’t stop there. We are committed to supporting small farmers. Many of the farmers we purchase our coffee from benefit their communities by investing in education, healthcare, clean water, & maintaining their local culture.
