Roasting Lab
Roasting starts with the green coffee.
We develop each roast around the unique qualities of the green coffee — its origin, variety, process and tasting notes — then evaluate how those qualities express themselves in the cup.
Our approach
The green coffee comes first.
Every lot is different. We begin with origin, variety, processing and sensory notes, then develop the roast profile around the coffee in front of us.
Start with the unique green coffee
Origin, variety, process and tasting notes define the starting point. The roast begins by understanding what is already present in the green coffee.
Develop the roast around the lot
Precision is used to highlight the qualities and tasting notes of the coffee rather than force every lot into the same profile.
Evaluate the result in the cup
Cupping and brewing confirm whether the roast expresses the intended notes, balance, sweetness, acidity and clarity.
Solar-powered roasting
Solar-Powered Roasting with Probat
Our electric Probat roasting system is powered by solar energy. We use precise control to develop each roast around the unique qualities and tasting notes of the green coffee, then evaluate the result in the cup.
