How We Roast

Eight steps. No shortcuts.

01

Farmer relationships

We visit every partner farm at least once a year. Marcus handles sourcing; Elena manages communication year-round. Every lot we carry is from someone we have shaken hands with.

02

Hand selection at origin

Our partners hand-sort cherries before processing. We specify our quality requirements at the start of each season and pay a premium for the labour that meets them.

Green bean arrival

Beans arrive at our Savannah warehouse in grain-pro lined jute sacks. Every shipment is logged with arrival date, weight, and moisture content.

48-hour rest and QC

Green beans rest for 48 hours after arrival before we touch them. We sample-roast every new lot before committing to a profile. Elena cups everything blind.

Small-batch drum roast

Marcus roasts on a 15kg drum. Maximum batch size never exceeds this — there is no second roaster, no production staff. If Marcus is not at the drum, nothing is being roasted.

Immediate cupping

Every production roast is cupped the same day. If a batch is not right, it does not go out. This has happened four times. We do not talk about it.

07

Packed same day

Orders are bagged, sealed, and labelled within hours of the roast completing. We use one-way valve bags designed for immediate packing of fresh-roasted coffee.

Why Savannah?

People ask sometimes why two people who could have opened a roastery anywhere chose Savannah. The answer is that Savannah chose us first. Elena grew up forty minutes away in Rincon. Marcus spent two years here before moving to the sourcing world and never fully left. When it came time to build something, there was nowhere else to consider.

Savannah is a slow city. It has a pace that resists being rushed, a texture of old brick and Spanish moss and heat that makes you want to sit with something rather than consume it standing up. That is exactly the kind of place to roast coffee. Not the fast, convenience-store version. The kind you make time for.
