IT ALL STARTS AT THE COFFEE FARM
Our sourcing partner, Unblended Coffee, worked with several women growers to bring us this special coffee. It has a sweet, floral profile, a creamy body, and a caramel finish that lingers beautifully. But there’s more to it than just flavor—this coffee helps women producers grow their farms and develop their skills in specialty coffee. Made mostly from floral varieties like Chiroso, it’s a step toward crafting more refined and consistent small-batch coffees while celebrating the work of these talented women.

HOW DID WE ROAST THIS COFFEE?
This coffee is being roasted by Ian T. from December 29 to Jan 23 2025 in Brooklyn. We use the Loring Kestrel roaster for this profile. We have strict guidelines for each of the coffee profiles, and this roast has to pass the development time ratio test as measured in real-time by the roasting software, Cropster. Once it does, it is approved for production.
QUALITY CONTROL
We perform Quality Control via a process of coffee tasting called cupping on all of our production roasts once a week at our roastery in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Each cupping is conducted by Ian T., Anu M., Suyog M., and James M. using standard equipment, and is logged by our Q-certified cupper Ian T. All coffees are evaluated on a scoring scale of 0 to 3.
- 3.0 = exceptional roast - exceeds expectations
- 2.5 = on par with profile - matches expectations
- 2.0 = good roast, but 1 or 2 elements could be improved - needs improvement
- 1.5 or lower = failed - do not ship
PRODUCTION AND SHIPPING
Less than 24 hours after roasting, we bag your coffee in our production facility in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. Our production team is led by Anthony and Torie, and supported by a rotating cast of local artists, musicians and independent professionals.
