Every bag is a unique roast.
Roasting coffee began like any other hobby.
In 2016 I started learning to make great espresso, which it turns out is very dependent on very fresh beans.
After some in depth research I began figuring out how to roast my own beans. (my first roaster pictured here, barely 1/2lb)
I now roast in a new version of my custom built hot air roaster capable of two pound batches, translates perfectly into the one and two pound bags I offer. The 16oz of unroasted beans becomes around 14oz of roasted coffee depending on how much moisture cooks out.
Which means the coffee you get is roasted just for you.
I roast to a light-medium roast.

WHAT SETS SPECIALTY GRADE COFFEE APART?
I roast exclusively high quality specialty grade beans
graded 86 or higher.
Specialty Grade Coffee represents the top 10% of coffee produced globally, distinguished by its superior quality and distinct characteristics. Unlike commercial-grade coffee, which often prioritizes quantity over quality, specialty beans are graded 80 or above on the Specialty Coffee Association (SCA) 100-point scale.
This elite classification reflects the beans’ exceptional attributes,
Pristine Quality. Each bean is hand-picked at peak ripeness and carefully processed to eliminate defects, ensuring only the finest make it to your cup. Specialty coffee undergoes stringent quality checks, resulting in fewer than 5 minor defects per 350 grams and no primary defects.
Unique Flavor Profiles: Grown in ideal microclimates, our beans boast complex and vibrant flavors—from bright citrus and floral notes to rich chocolate and nutty undertones. Each batch tells the story of its origin, reflecting the terroir, altitude, and cultivation practices.
Ethical Sourcing: Our specialty coffee is sourced from sustainable farms that prioritize environmental stewardship and fair wages for farmers, fostering a traceable and responsible supply chain.
Artisanal Processing: From washed to natural processing methods, every step is optimized to enhance the bean’s inherent qualities, delivering a clean, consistent, and unforgettable taste.
