Farming & Processing
Where our beans come from matters deeply to us, not just for taste and quality, but because our sourcing impacts lives. That's why we partnered with Hub Coffee Roasters.

BELLA AURORA
A farm dedicated to producing quality coffee by meticulously managing various aspects of production, including implementing environmental sustainability across all farms, selecting optimal coffee varieties, and maintaining plant health and nutrition.
DECAF PROCESS
We use the sugar cane process for our decaf. This process, also known as the ethyl acetate (EA) process, uses a natural compound derived from sugar cane to decaffeinate coffee. Green coffee beans are steamed to open their pores, then soaked in an ethyl acetate solution, which binds with and removes the caffeine. The beans are rinsed and steamed again to eliminate any residual solvent, then dried to the right moisture level for roasting. This method is preferred for preserving the coffee's original flavor and being environmentally friendly due to its use of a naturally occurring solvent.
