Champs Coffee

A coffee bean is actually a seed, if the seed isn't processed it can be planted and grow into a tree. Planting often takes place during the wet season so the soil remains moist. Our product quality and consistency comes directly from our plantations

It will take approximately 3 to 4 years for the newly planted coffee trees to bear fruit, the coffee cherry. There is typically one major harvest a year

We process our coffee using the "wet method" This method removes the pulp from the coffee cherry after harvesting so the bean is dried with only the parchment skin left on. 

Hulling machinery removes the parchment layer from wet-processed coffee. Hulling dry processed coffee refers to removing the entire dried husk of the dried cherry. At this point, the milled beans are called "green coffee" 

Roasting transforms green coffee into brown beans. Roasting machines maintain a temperature of 500 degrees Fahrenheit. The beans are kept moving throughout the entire process to keep them from burning. 

A proper grind gets the most flavor in a cup of coffee. This doesn't mean that the finer the grind the better. Generally, the finer the grind, the more quickly the coffee should be prepared.
