Question 1

Do you include a roast date on your coffee bags?

Accepted Answer

Yes we do, it's above the Best Before date next to the Weight on the small white label

Question 2

Should I rest the coffee before brewing?

Accepted Answer

Yes as we roast daily to order the coffee is very fresh, we recommend resting coffee for at least a week. The roast date is on the small white label above the Best Before date & next to the Weight. If you can't wait a week a nice hack we've found that works is to grind your coffee & let it stand 20mins this accelerates the resting process & your coffee can be brewed & enjoyed straight away, however the best practice proven method is to rest coffee over a week.

Question 3

How should I store my coffee?

Accepted Answer

We recommend storing in a cool, dark place away from heat, a kitchen cupboard or pantry works fine. Try to minimise exposure to air and moisture, so avoid the fridge.  Coffee can be stored in the freezer in a sealed container indefinitely & ground straight from the freezer without defrosting.

Question 4

Do you supply brew recipes for your coffees?

Accepted Answer

We avoid giving out brew recipes for individual coffees on any given brew method because each brewing 'system' i.e water, temp, grinder, brew equipment etc will be different enough for the recipe to be largely meaningless when trying to compare our  brewing system to yours. However we do offer general Best Practice Brew Guides for a number of the popular systems & these are a great place to start when tweaking to find the coffees sweet spot.
