Blending artistry and science, our style of hand crafting each roast to it's optimal flavor peak is what makes our coffees so appealing to our customers. growing and processing conditions can vary among neighboring coffee plantations. Slight differences in growing altitude produce differences in the taste of beans. Although two coffee roasters may offer a varietal or blend with the same name, the two coffees might be significantly different. Even if the two roasters were buying identical varietals, they might roast them differently. The quality of the finished coffee depends on the roaster's expertise.
Coffee is grown on trees.
It takes three to five years for a tree to mature enough to produce harvestable beans. A coffee bean is the seed of the coffee tree, acctualy it is closer to a pit. Americans consume over 300 million cups of hot coffee on a typical winter day. When available, Plantation Coffee Roasters will purchase only estate shade and plantation coffees. Nearly 4,000 coffee beans are used to produce one pound of roasted coffee.
