THE BOTTOM LINE
COFFEE FACTS:
- Premium coffee blends feature a mix of personally-selected beans from different regions that are roasted, ground, and mixed at specific ratios to create unique flavor profiles.
- Our Q Graders personally select the beans for each small batch we roast.
- A medium roast coffee is typically lighter in body with a sweetness and acidity that is well balanced. Our medium roast coffees are roasted to highlight the coffee's natural flavors.
- We recommend trying this coffee black or with a small amount of milk or cream. Add sugar or flavored syrups if you like a sweeter drink.
WHAT TO EXPECT:
We select and import green natural-processed coffee from small sustainable farms in South and Central America, and roast in-house to ensure you receive only the freshest, most flavorful beans. Our small-batch process allows us to extract unique flavor profiles that are simply not possible with mass-produced coffees. The result is a rich, round-bodied cup with complex layers of peach and honeysuckle gently balanced by a silky chocolate mouthfeel. A uniform medium roast brings out the coffee’s natural sweetness and softens hints of citrus, for a smooth, intriguing finish that’s bright, but never bitter.
