The Origins: Bean There, Done That!
Every great coffee begins its journey far from your favorite café, in the lush, green plantations of coffee-growing regions around the world.
After a cozy stay in ideal climates, it gets picked, processed, and roasted to perfection. Then, it’s ground and brewed into the ‘brew-tiful’ cup of coffee you enjoy daily.
There is an elaborate story behind every sip of coffee we have.
It is very true that coffee has evolved over period as mankind did.
Harvesting: Picking the Perfect ‘Brew-tiful’ Beans
Under the scorching sun, the beans get picked by experienced hands who ensure the coffee beans’ highest possible quality, leading to flavorful and aromatic coffee. They visit each coffee plant several times over the harvest season so that they pick the berry when it is just right: neither under-ripe nor over-ripe.
They literally Pick the ‘Bean’ of Your Dreams!
Processing: From Cherry to ‘Bean’-sational Coffee
Once harvested, the coffee cherries need to go through processing to transform into the beans we know and love.
Inside the red cherries is where the green coffee bean is and must be removed from the red cherry flesh. It is essential to dry the beans correctly to prevent rotting and fungal growth. Then after several days once all the husks have dried and the bean is partially exposed, the beans must then be dried and milled to remove the last bits of the cherry from the green beans.
This is where Beans Get a Little ‘Filter’-ation Before Their Big Brew
Roasting & Grinding: Bean’s Time to Shine
The processed beans get carefully roasted, until we hear the second ‘pop’, which means they’re ready. It’s the secret to unlocking those rich, aromatic flavors.
During this, the colour of the bean changes into dark colour due to the caramelization of sugar and also development of flavour & aroma takes place. It is very important process as the colour of the final coffee depends on roasting.
There are 4 types of roasts:
- Light roast
- Medium roast
- Dark roast
- Extra dark roast
This step brings us one step closer to :Grinding away our day’s worries, one cup at a time!
Brewing: The ‘Espresso’ Yourself Moment
Brewing is a high-stakes coffee dance: the water swirls and the aroma waltzes, all while those beans brew up a storm. It’s the ultimate ‘bean-efit’ for your taste buds—where every sip is a ‘brew-tiful’ burst of happiness!
When you make a rich, sweet, balanced mug, you know that you’ve honored all the stages that came before.
You’re the last person in a long line of people who have worked hard to get that perfect mug to you.
