We put a freshness, quality, and consistency guarantee into every bag of our coffee, but what does that mean for our customers?

We wanted to showcase the steps we take to ensure every bag of coffee we produce is of the utmost quality!

Freshness:

We roast in small batches to ensure everything we send to our customers was recently roasted. We also source our raw materials during the current and optimal season and are shipped in GrainPro bags to keep the green beans completely sealed so that no odors, mold, or moisture can seep into the beans on their journey. GrainPro bags have incredible sustainability benefits, which we discuss more on our hermetically sealed bags page.

Quality:

All the coffee we source from our Signature Blends to our Single Origin's has been put through numerous rounds of sampling and cupping to confirm the product's quality. We are focused on quality first, which is why our blends feature coffees that score in the range of 86 – 88pts. That is truthfully unheard of when it comes to blends, as most coffee companies use lower-grade coffees to lower costs but still charge specialty prices. Using high-scoring coffees is where we find the difference between our blends compared to those on the market.

Consistency:

Consistency to us is the culmination of our entire coffee program. We strive to be consistent with our flavor profiles, which stem from stringent sourcing, rigorous quality control, and steady/repeatable roasting. We also consistently aim to be open about our goals as an organization and where we plan to take our coffee program.

Our Sumatra single-origin is back in stock! This coffee cupped exceptionally well, and we are glad to add this to our rotation. You’ll find very similar properties to our previous Sumatra, such as rich cocoa with a bold and sweet flavor.

This coffee is from a small mill in the Pegasing district of Takengon, in Sumatra’s coffee-famous Aceh region. The coffee itself is from the Gayo 1 varietal. The international coffee community recognizes the Gayo 1 varietal for its high quality, sweet and clean taste, and pronounced earthy notes.

The mill serves several small coffee producers within the Pantan Musara villages; several years ago, these producers were dislocated from their homes and land because of a natural disaster. They have rebuilt their lives and farms with a new focus on coffee. Unlike the vast majority of other Sumatran coffee receiving and processing centers, this mill is producing Washed coffees, as well as Naturals.

Today we wanted to talk about our contribution to the World Coffee Research fund (@wcoffeeresearch)

The livelihoods of coffee farmers are urgently threatened by, Climate Change, Low Yields, Disease & Pests, and Barriers to Quality. This is why we partnered with World Coffee Research's "Check-Off Program" to contribute funds to their research for every lb of green coffee we purchase.

World Coffee Research looks to solve the issues farmers are facing through collaborative, scientific research, and development.

Some of these initiatives we are helping to fund include; safeguarding coffee genetic resources, breeding for coffee quality, and sustainable income for farmers through coffee farming improvement.

We are a proud supporter of the World Coffee Research fund and encourage you to read more on Our Mission page!

We have some exciting news for you! We're proud to announce that today on Earth Day we are officially Climate Neutral Certified through @beclimateneutral

We've spent the last three months working with Climate Neutral to measure our 2020 carbon footprint. We've calculated all of the emissions that it takes to make and ship our products to your doorstep (and Amazon). We then offset all our carbon by investing in climate change solutions, including 1% for the Planet.

But the work doesn't stop there. We must reduce our future emissions to limit climate change. Over the next few months, we'll be hard at work looking to reduce our emissions across all areas of our business. We are reevaluating our packaging and how we do business as a whole.

We set up a page detailing our next steps and we encourage you to take a look. The link is in our bio including our expanded mission. We hope you join us on this journey and thank you for the support!

Meet our Kenya Mutira Snapchilled Coffee Can. This is the same amazing coffee that we recently released as whole bean on our website and Amazon.

A complex Kenyan microlot that tastes of sugary plum, chocolate, and a hint of lemon with a sweet finish. The Coffee Bros. Kenya Mutira is named after the smallholder farmer cooperative which this coffee derives from, “Mutira Farmers Cooperative Society”. The Karii factory operated by the Mutira Farmer Cooperative Society has roughly 4,000 members in the region. The Karii factory was built in 1984, located about 70 miles from Nairobi and a mile and a half from Kerugoya town.

This coffees is from the famous SL-28 and SL-34 varietals which tend to have unmatched sweetness. SL-28 is among the most well-known and well-regarded varieties of Africa. It has consequently spread from Kenya, where it was originally selected in the 1930s, to other parts of Africa and now to Latin America.

This coffee shines with its sweet plum flavor, heavier mouthfeel, and cola-like characteristics. This coffee is very limited in quantity so take advantage of this unique microlot while it is still available.
