we recommend 45 days before brewing for most coffees. some coffees may take up to 60 days to start opening up. the more rest, the better! it'll be worth it, we promise.

our coffees should remain brewable up to 4 months. after that, your mileage may vary.

our coffee is roasted very light.

with our roasting, we aim for a balance of sweetness, brightness, and clarity. the lightness varies slightly between coffees, but we tend to be in somewhere in between light and ultralight. lighter than nordic, not as light as some ultralight roasters (tpc, shoebox, etc.). we dig the profile, hopefully you do too.
