Beautiful Bean Questions

What does small batch roasting mean?

?

?

We never roast more that 20 lbs of coffee per batch. This allows for meticulous control over our roasting process, and delivery of the freshest coffee to our customers.

What days do we roast?

?

?

We roast-to-order twice a month - and, we ship out coffee on Mondays.

When do we ship?

?

?

We strive to ship our coffees within ~48-72 hours after roasting - based on orders.

How long after roasting does coffee flavor hold up?

?

?

Coffees need at least one to two days after roasting to "breath" & "degas" before their flavors are ready to produce a good brew. With proper storage in a quality degassing valved bag, whole bean coffee can continue to produce beautiful flavors for a solid three to four weeks plus. If you know it may be a while before using your coffee, place the beans in the freezer for even longer freshness. (Before brewing allow your beans to return to room temp)

How much does shipping costs?

?

?

Of course, shipping rates are calculated based on weight and distance shipped - but normally, one to three bags of coffee can ship via UPS for about $8-$11 within the upper 48 states.

How do we store our green beans?

?

?

Our green bean inventory is stored in ecotact® and GrainPro® bags which control moisture and maintain bean freshness. They are in climate controlled rooms that maintain an expert recommended temperature of ~70°F and ~50% humidity.
