Description

About the Blend Fireside – this coffee blend was designed for those winter evenings inside by the crackling fire. The goal was to create a sense of the smoky outdoor experience of campfires in times past where the firelight flickered across the faces of friends around the fire as laughter reverberated across the night air. Relaxing by the fire side with a steaming hot cup of coffee is cozy as the wind howls outside. The coffee has a pleasant earthiness with hint of smokiness reminiscent of the warm outdoor months. Nuance of dark chocolate blends with toasted marshmallow, hints of hazelnut and blackberry dance in the finish. Built on a base of Guatemala beans and crafted for full city roast to develop deeper chocolate tones and a little smokiness in the cup. A nicely complex cup. About the Roasting Process Maybe you have heard that roasting coffee is a work of art and to achieve excellent beautiful taste development in coffee beans it requires skillful and calculated inputs by the roast master throughout the entire roasting process? Is this true or not… Let’s look at this topic a little deeper. Some would argue that roasting coffee is easier than all that and you don’t need to worry about all those “technical aspects” to enjoy roasting your own coffee at home. In the most basic sense, you simply need to heat the beans to about 450*F or until they reach the desired “doneness” or “brown” and then cool them as quickly as possible with a fan to stop the internal roasting changes happening inside the beans. After this the coffee beans can be ground and used to brew coffee. It is as easy as that! However, as you delve a little deeper into roasting your own beans you soon realize that there does seem to be a certain science or a required sequence of events behind the roasting process that must be met to achieve the best taste in the cup. You will learn that when the cup tastes grassy or underdeveloped that you must add more time and/or temperature to your roasting profile
