Coffee: Our sourcing and roasting philosophy.

Every coffee grew somewhere. The place where the coffee is grown has a tremendous influence on how it tastes. Soil, temperature, and rainfall have quite a bit to do with how a coffee will ultimately taste. Varietal selection, farming techniques, and the care taken in harvesting and processing the coffee also play a role. We try to find a variety of unique coffees, all different, but all delicious.

For each lot of coffee we buy, we evaluate several different roasts and try to find ways of roasting that coffee which bring out the best characteristics of that coffee. Even coffees which have very similar flavor characteristics from one season to the next may require a different roasting style to achieve that result.
