After a certain point in the roasting process (called second crack–the hallmark of a dark coffee), oils are released onto the surface of the bean. These oils turn rancid when in contact with oxygen, which is often why people experience stomach upset after drinking dark-roasted coffee. We don’t want you drinking rancid oils, so we keep our coffees from that stage of the roasting process. The result is a smoother coffee that preserves more flavor as well as protects your stomach from those upsetting oils.

 We like to say that coffees in our Comforting lineup are perfect for those cold mornings when you want a blanket and a warm fire. They typically have warmer flavor profiles that are chocolatey, sweet, and well…comforting. Adventurous coffees, on the other hand, have more sparkle in the cup–fruity, bright and for those wanting a little pizzazz in their cup.

Coffee is a crop, which has growing seasons just like other crops. In the same way you can’t get fresh mangos year-round, once a particular coffee runs out, it runs out. We like to keep our coffees fresh and in-season; as a result, our offerings vary based on the growing seasons of each region we source from. Plus, this way, you get to try fun new coffees throughout the year!

Some coffee regions have multiple harvests throughout the year. Brazil is one of those, so we are able to bring in fresh crops of Brazil throughout the year thanks to these multiple growing seasons.

We recommend drinking your coffee within two weeks of the roast date for optimal flavor.

Please no! While we understand your intentions, in the freezer, condensation forms on the surface of the bean, which negatively affects freshness. Just reseal the bag using the zip on the package and store in a cool (not frigid), dry place.

Our roasts typically finish in about 12 minutes or less. Keeping the roasts short preserves flavor and freshness.

Our roaster has a maximum capacity of 25 lbs per batch. We are able to roast several hundred pounds each day.
