Buying green coffee is arguably one of the most important aspects of a coffee roasting company. With an endless amount of possibilities and options out there, how does one decide which coffee to buy? In this episode, we discuss one of the several key aspects we look for in coffee which is the flavor profile.

Cold brew is a beverage we're all too familiar with yet we don't think it gets talked about enough especially in specialty coffee. After our recent collaboration with Stemma Brewing out of Bellingham, WA, it has come to our attention that cold brew coffee can be sweet, complex, and not your average brew.  In this episode of Coffee Roaster Warm Up Sessions, we talk about some of the biggest aspects of brewing amazing cold brew and some practical tips on how you can make it at home.

As a coffee roasting company, we're always pursuing excellence in all we do. This is great until it starts to hurt us and stunt our growth. Both of us are perfectionist, and we've also noticed how much it has suppressed us from living out our full potential and growing.  In this Coffee Roaster Warm Up Session, we talk about what that's like dealing with perfectionism while still going after excellence.

We just passed our first year since starting our coffee roasting company, and it's been a wild ride. So many unexpected events happened and we learned a lot as a business. In this Coffee Roaster Warm-Up Session, we talk about some of the things we have learned as a new coffee company in its first year. Thank you so much for the support! We are looking forward to this upcoming year.

This was such an enjoyable conversation to have as we looked back over the many years of experiencing the holiday season. From the scent of the holidays to iconic Christmas movies, and even experiencing world record snowfall, the holidays are always such a unique and memorable part of the year for us. Reminisce with us on these classic holiday season memories.

We live in a world of one-click orders, quick shipping times, endless sign ups to subscriptions, and impulse purchases that can be made far too easily. Although not all of these things are bad, we think being a bit more intentional will dramatically improve our quality of life.

Intentional living could be in your spending, time management, decision making, and more. In this Coffee Roaster Warm Up Session, we talk about intentionality and the impact we witnessed happen when people took responsibility towards that.

Today we talk about the recent natural disaster that hit Central America. A coffee importer we work with in Guatemala shared the news on social media, and it felt so personal for us. We have bought coffee from these countries that were hit by Hurricane Eta, and to know their families and communities were heavily impacted moved us deeply. These moments have significant future impacts for these communities and the coffee industry as a whole.

The coffee industry is an industry that is undergoing a lot of change. The specialty coffee subcategory is fairly small yet growing quite rapidly, but like all things, there are a lot of difficulties we have to wrestle with when things are developing through their younger stages. We talk about what the year 2020 has done to the coffee industry and the incredible support we felt from people supporting small businesses like ours!
