General Questions
How fresh is your coffee?
Our raw coffee beans represent the world’s best. We purchase specialty grade Arabica, green coffee beans available and small batch, or artisan roast our coffee five days a week. Small batch roasting isn’t the most efficient method, but it guarantees you, the coffee lover, the freshest, best tasting coffee possible!
Is your coffee mold free?
Our coffee is mold free.
Specialty Coffee has strict quality assessments that exclude mold from coffee. All the green coffee we import is close to 11% moisture. At that moisture level mold will not develop. The cooperatives we work with are strict at keeping the moisture levels correct. We typically only use green coffee that is within a year of being harvested. This also helps prevent mold. Green coffee that is a couple years old is more susceptible to mold.
Our coffee is regularly tested by Q-graders (highest level of coffee professional) for mold and other quality metrics.
Is your coffee organic?
Yes, some of our coffee is organic. Check product descriptions to see which coffees are organic.
