IT ALL STARTS AT THE COFFEE FARM
The small town of Motozintla sits in a valley between three mountains in the southern region of Chiapas. This area, ideal for the production of coffee with high humidity in the mornings and dry, hot afternoons, is home to dozens of small-scale coffee growers. This Classic profile was grown by members of an organization called CABIOCHI (Cafetaleros de la Biosfera de Chiapas).

HOW DID WE ROAST THIS COFFEE?
This coffee is being roasted by Ian T. from 23rd May to 16th June in Long Island City, Queens. We typically 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 from home as per our Covid-19 shelter in place guidelines. Each cupping is conducted by our roasting staff Kieran D. and Ian T. 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
