Most of our customers order coffee on a weekly cycle Why is it best to order coffee once a week? Nothing beats the joy of a cup of freshly roasted coffee! Coffee loses about half it's taste and aroma every two weeks and should therefore be consumed within two months of roasting. All our coffees are labelled with the roasting date and not the expiry date. Coffee purchased directly from our roastery is freshly roasted on the day.

More Coffee Information Premium coffees from the world's famous highland coffee plantations have a wonderful diversity of unique tastes, similar to great wines. However, unlike the wines, these single-origin handpicked highland-grown coffees are not widely available in South Africa. We import and roast these coffees. We don't use unspecified commodity coffee. The Coffee Roasting Co. brings unique single-origin coffees to you at their peak taste within a day of roasting; at a good price. Roast-to-order (Roast & collect / Roast & deliver): we custom-roast the coffee only after receiving an order. Our orders in-hand determine the daily roasting schedule. Our coffee is skillfully slow-roasted by hand in small batches in our state-of-the-art Diedrich and Has Garanti infrared drum coffee roasters imported from the USA. We received our training at the Diedrich facility in Sandpoint, Idaho, USA. We exclusively roast our coffee in clean air and only air-quench the coffee at the end of the roasting. Our coffees are available directly and fresh and our coffees are labelled with the roasting date. Coffee should always be consumed as soon as possible after roasting as it oxidizes and goes stale rapidly, even when stored well (to store coffee keep as beans, air-tight and in the deep-freeze; but it is always preferable to consume it early).
Why handpicked? The coffee bean tastes best when it's harvested just ripe (like all other fruit, in fact). This is easy to see as the coffee cherry is bright red at this stage. The coffee tree ripens unevenly with the same branch having cherries in several stages - with several sweeps over several months of a handpicking harvest only ripe coffee is selected; mechanical harvesting or strip harvesting removes everything at one time (more FAQ).
Why highland-grown? At altitudes above 1500m the tropical climate is cooler and more temperate: the bean takes up to three months longer to mature from flower to ripe fruit: this results in a denser, more tasty coffee that truly reflects the characteristics of it's terroir (more FAQ).
Beans for Espresso? All our freshly roasted speciality coffees produce good crema, aroma and taste. They can all be brewed in an espresso machine for their unique tastes. We produce an ideal full-bodied blend for espresso, the Cardinal Sins Blend. For a single origin espresso we recommend either the Limu, Koutaba or the Harrar (dry or semi-dry processed coffees produce good crema and strong taste) (more FAQ).
