Import Team

Slow roasting is not just a thermal process; it is an alchemy that transforms green beans into aromatic treasures. In our workshop, every batch of coffee from the mountainous regions of Peru and Colombia goes through a meticulous journey, where time and temperature are essential allies.

Why Slow Roasting Makes the Difference

By extending the roasting time to 14-18 minutes, unlike fast industrial roasting, we allow for the complete and balanced development of complex sugars. This leads to:

  • Rounder and more pleasant acidity, without harsh notes.
  • Denser and creamier body, ideal for espresso or pour-over.
  • Rich secondary aromas of chocolate, caramelized nuts, or forest fruits, depending on the origin.
