Do you have light, medium, and dark roast options?
Our coffees are generally considered a ‘medium’ roast. The whole truth is that we source really high quality coffees and roast each coffee just enough to bring out the best of what’s inherent in those particular beans. Typically, our blends are more medium roast and our single origin coffees are on the lighter end of the spectrum. For those of you that love that dark, roasty flavor, we recommend the Brazilian. However, on special request we can create a custom roast for our valued customers.
Do you add any additional flavors?
We don’t add any flavorings to our coffee. We use tasting notes on our packaging and on our website as a way for us to describe nuances in each coffee, noticing things like brightness, sweetness and body. Do not be alarmed if you can’t taste orange or clove in your cup. Flavor only matters in the context of you.
Can I get the coffee on my order pre-ground?
Of course, we have specific pre-ground options for which ever brewing method our valued customers prefer.
Where should I store my coffee? In the freezer? On the counter?
Store your coffee in a cool, dark place. The best way to store coffee is to put it an airtight container in a cool, dark place. We suggest that you avoid storing coffee in a fridge or freezer. Moving beans in and out of the freezer every time you make coffee can introduce moisture to the beans, resulting in potential mold growth and degradation of the coffee.
Similarly, coffee easily absorbs the flavor of things around it. Take care in choosing the container(might want to rethink reusing pickle jar), and be mindful that storing near odorous foods, spices etc, may change the flavor of the coffee.
How long does Third Culture Coffee stay fresh?
With our new sealed bags, we can keep the beans on shelves 30 days from the roast date, and recommend that once the seal is broken, they are brewedwithin 3 weeks.
I can’t find my favorite coffee, where did it go? Like other produce, coffee is seasonal. Our coffee menu reflects the seasonality of coffee growing schedules, so you will often see coffee from specific regions only available during certain periods of the year. Worry not, we offer our Blends year-round.
Are any of the coffees Halal Certified?
Yes they are. Our beans are processed and roasted in a facility that handles only coffee beans which do not come into contact with other food products. Additionally, we do not add flavors or additional ingredients to any of our coffees.
