The Art of Roasting
Witness the transformation of green coffee beans into aromatic roasted perfection through carefully controlled heat and timing.
Roasting Timeline
Green Bean Stage
Raw coffee beans arrive with their natural green color and dense structure. At this stage, they contain all the potential flavors that will develop during roasting. Careful sorting ensures only the highest quality beans proceed to roasting.
First Crack
As heat penetrates the bean, moisture expands and causes the characteristic cracking sound. This marks the beginning of flavor development. The beans begin to expand and release aromatic compounds that define the coffee's character.
Development Phase
During this critical period, sugars caramelize and oils migrate to the surface. The roaster carefully monitors temperature and time to achieve the desired profile, balancing acidity, body, and flavor complexity.
Second Crack
At higher temperatures, a second crack occurs as the bean structure further breaks down. This stage produces darker roasts with richer, bolder flavors. The roaster must decide the precise moment to stop, capturing the perfect balance.
Cooling and Resting
Immediately after roasting, beans are rapidly cooled to halt the process. They then rest for several days, allowing flavors to stabilize and develop fully before grinding and brewing.
Roast Profiles
Light Roast
Preserves the origin characteristics with bright acidity and delicate flavors. Beans reach first crack but maintain their original complexity and terroir expression.
Medium Roast
Balanced development creates harmony between origin flavors and roast characteristics. This profile offers versatility for various brewing methods.
Dark Roast
Extended roasting develops bold, rich flavors with lower acidity. The roast character becomes prominent while maintaining quality bean characteristics.
Quality Control
Consistent Excellence
Every batch undergoes rigorous quality assessment. We cup samples from each roast to ensure consistency and identify any adjustments needed. This commitment to quality ensures that every bag meets our standards.
