FAQs

How fresh is my coffee when it arrives?

Your coffee is roasted to order and shipped within 24 hours of roasting. We never roast in advance or keep inventory sitting on shelves. This means your coffee arrives at peak freshness, typically 2-5 days from roasting depending on your location. For the best flavor experience, we recommend using your coffee within 2-4 weeks of the roast date.

Should I order whole beans or ground coffee?

We recommend ordering whole beans for maximum freshness and flavor, as coffee begins to lose its optimal taste within minutes of grinding. However, we're happy to grind your coffee to order for your preferred brewing method. Just select your grind size at checkout:

  • Whole Bean (recommended)
  • Coarse (French Press, Cold Brew)
  • Medium (Drip, Pour Over)
  • Fine (Espresso, Moka Pot)

What makes your coffee different from grocery store coffee?

Our coffee is specialty-grade (85+ points), single origin, and roasted by SCA-certified professionals. Unlike grocery store coffee that sits on shelves for weeks or months, your coffee is roasted specifically for your order and shipped within 24 hours. We source 100% organic, fair-trade beans with no artificial flavors or additives - just pure, exceptional coffee that showcases each origin's unique characteristics.

Rwanda

The Gitwe washing station is located in Rwanda's southern Nyamasheke District. We started buying this coffee back in 2018, and actually, after tasting a sample on an origin trip that year, rearranged our travel plans to make sure we saw the site! (It's actually very close to Gatare - another coffee we buy - so fitting it into the drive wasn't too difficult). They've made quite a few improvements to their washing station since that first visit, investing in a water filtration system, and storage system unlike any we've seen in Rwanda. Gitwe sits at roughly 1800 meters above sea level, and the farms of the 800 out growers who deliver their coffee to Gitwe are situated between 1800 and 2000 meters. Gitwe produces honeys, like this lot, as well as wet and dry process coffees, and have ample fermentation tanks and patio space to handle incoming coffee during the harvest peak. This honey lot has a very nice interplay of caramels sweetness, bright acidity, and thick body. We also happen to have a wet process lot on the site, so a unique opportunity to taste a single source coffee processed different ways.

Flavor Notes

Sweet base layers with bright accents, profiles of coffee hard candy, caramel custard with lemon sauce, earthy yellow tea, and a bittering aspect of Dutch cocoa powder.
