IT ALL STARTS AT THE COFFEE FARM
India has been producing spectacular specialty coffee in recent years, characterized by low acidity, full body, and a striking stone fruit sweetness. This Catuai lot went through a unique 72-hour symbiotic fermentation, bringing out layers of complexity and depth. With Ashok Patre at the helm, the farm has transformed into a hub for specialty coffee production, balancing tradition with modern agricultural techniques.

HOW DID WE ROAST THIS COFFEE?
This coffee is being roasted by Ian T. from Dec 1 - Dec 25 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., and Suyog 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 Torie, and supported by a rotating cast of local artists, musicians and independent professionals.
