IT ALL STARTS AT THE COFFEE FARM
From several smallholder farmers in Oaxaca, this coffee was grown on small, garden-like farms with an average size of 1 - 2 hectares (2.5 - 5 acres).
Some of the farmers who grew & harvested this coffee also depulped their coffee fruit to remove the seeds (aka beans), fermented & dried the seeds themselves, as opposed to bringing it to a centralized micro mill.

HOW DID WE ROAST THIS COFFEE?
This coffee is being roasted by Ian T. from December 4th to December 28th 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 twice a week at our facility in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. Cupping is attended by Q-certified cupper Ian T., roaster Dave H.and founder Suyog M. 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
