Roast philosophy
“Taste the bean, not the roast”
We roast every coffee bean separately to bring out the best for that coffee origin. The bright note of Coffee‘s known as acidic we roast light to preserve that bright note. The darker you roast a coffee the more the brightness goes away. Lower acidic, Coffees can be roasted light or dark because there’s no brightness that goes away. Some would say the sugar’s come out with a darker roast. So if you want a dark roast coffee, pick a coffee that is primarily from the Asia or some South American can be roasted light or dark being low acidic.
The sustainability of the coffee farmer . We try whenever possible to take out the middle man that sometimes makes more money than the Farmer who raises the coffee. Here are some of the coffee trading practices.
