Although personal flavor preferences are subjective, there are some common attributes that coffee professionals look for in the best organic coffee beans.
1. Freshness: Roasted coffee stales quickly and should be enjoyed as close to the time of roasting as possible. Grounds for Change roasts and ships our organic coffee daily to ensure that your coffee is as fresh as possible.
2. Elevation: Organic coffee grown at high elevations is denser and more flavorful than coffee grown at lower elevations. Grounds for Change sources the finest high-grown fair trade organic coffee available.
3. Shaded conditions: Organic coffee that is grown in shaded conditions will mature more slowly than full-sun coffee and will generally have a better flavor profile as a result. Shade grown coffee is also more sustainable and better for the overall health of the organic coffee farm. Grounds for Change works with organic coffee growing cooperatives that prioritize coffee grown in shaded conditions.
