Our roasting

We roast on Thursdays, and only on Thursdays.

One drum, twelve kilos at a time, in the back of the shop on Example Street. Thursday is roasting day because that is how long it takes to get through the week's green coffee properly, and because coffee wants a few days to rest before anyone drinks it.

That means what you order on a Friday was roasted the day before. It also means that when something sells out, it is genuinely gone until the following week. We would rather do that than keep a month of stock warm on a shelf.

We buy through two importers who publish what they pay the farm. When we know the number, it is on the bag.
