roast, drink, think, share
It is our mission to provide the highest quality specialty coffees available. Beans are micro-roasted by hand in ten lb batches, with our Probat L5 roaster. Experience and intuition serve as guides, rather than computer profiling. Samples are cupped and tasted in our lab to determine the ideal profiles for each new crop arrival. This brings out the best of each bean, every season!
Coffee is one of the most traded commodities in the world, second only to oil. The way we choose to do business in this global market effects not only our planet, but those who grow and harvest, and our own community. Coffee growing regions we purchase from are home to some of the densest bio diversity in the world. When we buy green beans we know we are participating in a market that could lead the way to proper use of human and agricultural resources.
Growing and harvesting methods are of the utmost importance to us, and we support the right to a living wage. We often purchase beans that are certified as; fair-trade, organic, shade grown, bird friendly, rain forest alliance, as well as beans from the Femenino co-op. Look for these labels when choosing. At times we order beans from small farms that grow traditionally organic beans but are not certified by these organizations. In these cases we work closely with our brokers to assure that our high standards are being met. We buy coffee constantly, from several sources and never retain bags at length in the lab, so the coffee is always fresh. Beans are served or sold within days of roasting. Varieties rotate seasonally according to availability.
