FAQ
-
We source our coffee from farms that practice growing their coffee without synthetic pesticides or harmful chemicals, using farming methods that prioritize soil health, biodiversity, and long-term sustainability. All of our coffee is also specialty-grade Arabica.
-
We recommend purchasing whole bean coffee whenever possible. Whole beans retain their flavor and aroma much longer than pre-ground coffee, giving you the freshest and most flavorful cup when ground just before brewing.
If needed, we're happy to grind your coffee for standard drip brewing at our coffee trailer. However, for the best coffee experience, we strongly recommend choosing whole beans and grinding them fresh at home.
-
We roast our coffee bi-weekly in small batches to ensure maximum freshness. Every batch is roasted in-house, giving us full control over quality and flavor. This approach means the coffee you receive is recently roasted and ready to deliver its full potential.
-
Tasting notes highlight the flavors you can expect from each coffee. They help guide you to a coffee you’ll enjoy—whether it’s chocolatey, fruity, floral, or nutty. Each of our coffees has carefully curated tasting notes to reflect the unique character of the beans. Tasting notes are interpretative and are not flavors or additives to coffee!
-
While coffee can be enjoyed for a few months after roasting whole beans are at their peak within 3–7 weeks of roasting.
Keep your coffee beans in the original pouch, sealed and store ,in a cool, dark place —room temperature storage is best for maintaining flavor and aroma.
We split 16oz into two 8oz bags to preserve freshness. Coffee starts to lose flavor once opened, so smaller bags let you enjoy your coffee at its peak, one bag at a time.
-
Our beans can be enjoyed with any brewing method. We recommend grinding fresh at home to match your brewing method.
