Mixed and Matched…
…Enjoy the Magnificence
The green coffee beans that we ship in from all over the world sound like rain as they pour into the roaster. Mike, an award-winning roaster, watches closely as the beans roast to the exact temperature and checks methodically for the correct color. “Crack, Snap, Pop, Crack” is heard through the roaster as the shells pop off the beans. Once the beans roast to the exact color for that particular roast, whether it is Creole, Acadian or dark-roast French, they are released like a waterfall and pour into the cooling tray. The aroma fills the room along with steam and the sound of rain.
