However, not all coffee cherries on a single tree ripen at the same time. Picking unripe cherries results in underdeveloped beans, while selecting ripe, cherry-red ones yields the best flavor and sweetness. After harvesting, the cherries undergo a series of processes—washing, hulling, drying—before becoming green beans ready for roasting and export. Even with careful processing, some less desirable beans may remain. Therefore, meticulous inspection and selection before roasting are crucial. We dedicate the most time during the roasting process to hand-sorting, as we believe exceptional green beans are the foundation of great coffee. **Freshly Roasted** Much like wine, coffee beans mellow and develop a smoother flavor over time through a process called "aging" or "resting." Newly roasted beans can sometimes have a smoky note. By sealing them in bags with one-way degassing valves, we prevent exposure to external air. After 5-7 days of resting, the flavors become more rounded and harmonious. We recommend not opening freshly roasted beans immediately. Store them in a cool place, and after a week of resting, grind and brew to experience their optimal taste. We ensure that every bag of beans reaching our customers is roasted within the last 7 days. **Delivered Fresh to Your Door** We believe coffee beans are delicate. Proper storage is vital for both green and roasted beans, with a cool, dry, and well-ventilated environment being ideal. Once roasted, we immediately seal the beans in bags equipped with one-way degassing valves before packaging and shipping. For items like pour-over drip bags that require grinding, they are prepared just moments before dispatch. Origin/Manufacturing Method Hand-Roasted in Taiwan
