Coffee beans differ in tastes, and tastes differ depending on where those Coffee Beans come from. When you compare wine to coffee, the coffee-making process is much more complex and much more artistic starting from the way it has been harvested, to you having it in your cup. You do not want to drink a coffee that is one year old, maybe even not more than three months old. Specialty Coffee is famous for its Aromas and Taste Qualities, which live up to 3 months. We roast a small batch of coffee beans to serve our clients with the best delicious coffee.
Another fact that you MUST KNOW about coffee is, you must grind your beans right after your water boils, and you are ready to brew it.
FUN FACT: Freshly Ground Coffee lives only 15 minutes, and after 15 minutes, the coffee loses its 60% quality.
We advise you to try Coffees from different Countries and farms to discover what Origin is your Favorite.
Single Origin meaning - when coffee comes from only one country, for example, Brazil, and the from one farm, it is considered a Single Origin Coffee.
Blend/House Blend Coffee meaning - multiple origins of coffee beans and a small amount of Robusta coffee beans mixture roasted by a coffee roaster specialist to achieve a certain kind of taste.
Specialty Coffee is believed to be from Single Origin Coffee (All coffees are roasted only by Coffee roasters).
Coffee Kettle
