IT ALL STARTS AT THE COFFEE FARM
We worked with our friends at Coffee Quest to source this incredible decaffeinated coffee. This coffee from Southern Huila, Colombia was produced by multiple smallholder farmers, primarily from the towns of Santa Maria and Pitalito. The first step of the journey of this coffee is a farmer presenting a sample at one of Coffee Quest’s buying stations, where it goes through meticulous cupping sessions to determine the quality. If the coffee is selected, it will then go to Coffee Quest’s warehouse and is cupped again and prepared to be milled.

HOW DID WE ROAST THIS COFFEE?
This coffee is being roasted by Ian T. from November 03 to November 28 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
