Frequently asked questions
What is a single-origin coffee?
Single-origin coffee refers to coffee beans from a single geographic origin, typically from one country, region, or sometimes even from a specific farm or estate within that region. This term is often used to highlight the unique characteristics and flavor profile of the coffee derived from the specific terroir (environmental factors like soil, climate, altitude, etc.) of that particular origin.
What is a coffee blend?
A coffee blend is a mixture of coffee beans from two or more origins or varieties. Blending coffee beans allows roasters to create unique flavor profiles by combining beans with different characteristics. By blending, we achieve consistent flavor throughout the year, as coffee beans from different origins may have varying qualities due to seasonal changes or crop fluctuations.
Can you grind my coffee for me?
We can grind them to suit your preferred brewing method. Whether you're brewing with a French press, pour-over, espresso machine, or any other method, we can tailor the grind size to ensure optimal extraction and flavor. Just let us know your brewing preference, and we'll grind the coffee beans accordingly, ready for you to brew and enjoy.
What is the best way to store coffee?
The best way to store coffee to maintain its freshness and flavor is to keep it in an airtight container in a cool, dark, and dry place.
