Coffee 101

Our custom coffee bags have and integrated one-way degassing valve that allows for our roasted beans to release the gasses that are naturally produced by the beans as they age to maintain optimum freshness. Therefore, it is not necessary to transfer our beans to any airtight container, especially the refrigerator or freezer, as that interrupts that delicate and necessary process.

Although it seems counter intuitive, a lighter roast is one that allows for the flavor of the bean to come through and is typically one you might not add any condiments to enhance the coffee experience; it stands alone quite nicely and is more delicate than the darker roasts.

The medium and dark roasts are bolder and typically maintain their flavor integrity with the addition of milks, creams, syrups, and most other coffee enhancements. These roasts are by far the most popular because of this desirable characteristic. The darker the roast, the bolder the flavor.
