How do we buy and how do we roast the coffee?
We buy coffee based on its seasonality to always have a fresh crop on our hands to offer to our customers. We try to have different profiles, easier chocolaty coffee for specialty beginners, and more funky and interesting for the brave. We like to cup coffee together with baristas and our clients to choose the best profile for each and every single one of them. This also gives us the possibility to develop good and close relationships and exchange opinions and recipes of extractions.
We source our coffee from specialty coffee traders that invest time and effort in the producers to improve their livelihood and coffee quality each year, and we are moving towards buying more directly from the producer, which gives us more insight on the coffee and gives us a better connection and feeling of the product.
We don’t have a specific day on which we roast. WHY? Because we believe the fresher the roast the better, so we roast directly when you ask us for fresh coffee.
