Smooth and rich with a distinctive floral aroma and fruity brightness. Natural bean drying allows the cherry to ferment on the bean prior to washing. This creates a unique "sweet" flavor profile great with deserts or alone.

Coffee Grind Chart | What grind style to choose when brewing your coffee?
Different forms of brewing coffee require different levels of grinding your beans. When ordering online, we can offer you whole bean or grind them for you.
Coffee Grind Chart:
Coarse - French Press, percolators, vacuum coffee pots and aero press coffee makers, we recommend a coarse grind level. (immersion brew method)
Drip - For use with drip coffee makers, grind level is medium. (pour over brew method)
Espresso - When making espresso or using a moka pot, finer grind level is recommended. (pressure with short water contact time)
Why? Different grind levels leach coffee into the water at different rates. Therefore, brew time and concentration (part-per-million) of coffee to water can vary.

An organic certified farm grows the coffee and processes it per documented procedures certified by entities like Ecocert, USDA, etc. This results in farm certified organic green (raw) coffee beans delivered to the roaster.
At Black Powder Roasting Company, we prevent co-mingling of standard coffee and organically grown coffee (both as green and after roasting). These include only roasting organic grown first each day in the roaster before standard grown, separate green bean storage area (non-grain pro), dedicated NSF storage containers (bins, buckets, scoops), and a dedicated organic grown only grinder. Coffee that is 100% Naturally Grown.
