The coffee cherry is a fruit; the bean is the stone inside it. Almost everything you have ever tasted from it is roast — char, smoke, bitterness — because dark roasting flattens whatever happened before the roast. We seal whole cherries without oxygen for 96 hours before they are dried, and roast light, so the cup tastes of the fruit it grew in: guava, overripe peach, mulled wine.

Coffea arabica · the cherryRipe and unripe cherries grow on the same branch, so a person chooses, cherry by cherry. Inside each one are two seeds. Those are the beans.
On most farms the fruit ferments in open air at whatever temperature the week delivers. Our producers seal whole cherries in oxygen-free tanks for 96 hours, timed to the hour and printed on the bag.
Char is a cover-up: roast anything dark enough and it tastes of the roast, not the fruit. We roast light and precise, in small rounds, sealed the same day, so what is left in the cup is guava, overripe peach, mulled wine. Nothing added.
