IT ALL STARTS AT THE COFFEE FARM
The Chirinos cooperative, founded in 1968 by 36 farmers in Peru’s northwest, has grown into a leader in sustainable, organic coffee production. Despite challenges in the 1990s, the group’s resilience and focus on sustainable farming helped them thrive. Today, Chirinos is celebrated for its delicious coffee, innovative practices like the “gaicashi” composting system, and dedication to organic farming methods that prioritize quality and environmental health.

HOW DID WE ROAST THIS COFFEE?
This coffee is being roasted by Ian T. from Feb 23rd 2025 to March 12th 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.
