Story
At the Village Roaster, we know coffee! The characteristics, the flavors, the body, the acidity, the aromaswe have a wide selection of specialty and flavored coffees for sale online, roasted or unroasted, in small quantities or bulk.We only sell 100% Arabica coffee beans, and we work to acquire the best coffee beans in the world. We cup them to ensure that the beans meet our standards, and we then roast them in small batches to ensure quality and freshness.For the best quality coffee, the bean starts with good farming, proper care and nourishment. We work with farmers who have a passion for the crops that they yield. We only buy from farmers who follow the highest practices and who take good care of their workers. We can hear the pride in the conversations we have with the farmers and the community members; typically, they cant wait to share the crop with those who enjoy a good cup.Coffee roasting is both art and science. The art is up to the roaster who determines what the bean can withstand to bring out the romantic, pleasant, and quality flavor, and to develop the sugars and flavors. Miss the mark, and over roasting can burn off the wonderful, flavorful characteristics that a coffee bean has. The science of coffee roasting relies on the elements of time and temperature, but ultimately, its up to the roaster to bring forward what the bean has to offer. From there its a matter of ensuring the coffee is ground properly and brewed properly (with good quality water).
