FAQ's

We roast high-quality coffee beans from around the world. Before we begin our roasting process, all of our beans go through a strict testing and evaluation process. This includes making sure the farms are environmentally and socially responsible.

We believe that each bean is very different and should be roasted as such. Unlike many coffee roasters that allow the coffee to blend in the roaster while roasting, we take the time to roast each bean separately and differently. This adds the depth and complexity to each blend and a noticeable flavor difference that sets us apart from other brands.

Our coffee is freshly roasted and shipped within a few days of being roasted (often the same day).

Our Spirit-Infused Coffee goes through a process in which the green unroasted coffee is infused with the spirit. After the coffee is infused, we then roast the coffee. During this time, the alcohol roasts off (similar to cooking with alcohol), leaving a distinct aroma and flavor.

Our coffee is nitrogen flushed when packaged to displace oxygen and ensure maximum freshness. Coffee does not go bad, but if exposed to oxygen, it will oxidize and lose freshness over time. For this reason, we recommend consuming within a month after opening.

Some of the coffee beans we use are organic but it depends on the coffee and we are not certified organic.

We do not have Vegan Certification but our coffee does not contain any milk, egg or dairy products.

At this time, we do not have Gluten-Free Certification. Our Instant Coffee Protein Powder does contain barley gluten. We also have our spirit infused line, which we do use alcohol in, so those may contain gluten even though the spirit roasts off in the process.

However, coffee beans are actually the seed from a fruit and have no grain in them.
