Specialty Coffee (sometimes called “third-wave” coffee) is independently roasted, high-quality coffee created with the intention of getting the most out of expertly grown coffee beans. Third-wave specialty coffee is part of a long legacy of coffee production, which you can learn more about here!
The roast profile of a coffee describes how “dark” or “light” the coffee was roasted. This roast profile is a metric to help coffee consumers choose which coffee best fits their taste, and can also inform caffeine content and potential notes present in the coffee too! There’s a lot that goes into defining a roast profile, so look more into it here!
Coffee begins to lose quality and goes stale as soon as it is ground. For best results, store coffee in coffee bags with a degassing valve or in an airtight container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. When stored in this way, coffee will be at peak freshness for about one month before it starts to go stale.
