So what makes our coffee stand out from the rest? There are several factors that go into producing an amazing cup experience. There are three major factors that impact that taste of our coffee:
1. Specialty grade beans used for roasting, from the best farms
2. The way we roast. Remember: Not all roasters are the same.
3. Grind does matter
Let me explain...
There are two types of coffee beans: the Robusta bean and the Arabica bean. Within the Arabica bean, there are several grade levels. The Specialty bean includes the top 2% of coffee beans. So you NOW have the BEST OF THE BEST bean...
Is it that simple? You would think, BUT, there is still more to it. Just like wine, coffee beans are affected by the temperature, rainfall, soil content, altitutde etc. So, beans can taste differently - even if grown from the same country and will taste differently after each harvest.
We then couple this knowledge with our expert roasters, who hand-roast each harvest and each country’s crop until they find the PERFECT taste.
Not all roasters are alike, just like all other products, it takes a true artisan + highest grade specialty coffee bean to = the results we are able to achieve. Our coffees are all hand roasted in no more than 20lbs at a time. They may go through several iterations of roasting to find the perfect way to roast that specific Costa Rican harvest vs how they will roast the crop from Guatemala. Their goal is to bring out the natural taste of the bean and the result is a smooth tasting and unique cup of coffee.
Lastly, just a couple simple steps at home can alter the taste of your coffee. Both the
water used and the
grind size can impact the taste of your resulted brew.
- Filtered or spring water only
- Coffee ground for your brew method (coffee pot, keurig, french press, chemex etc) .
