Our Nonprofits
As a coffee roaster, we take pride in the coffee that we sell. There are generally 2 types of coffee beans – Robusta Bean and Arabica Bean. The Robusta beans have more caffeine and acid and are generally less expensive than Arabica beans. Coffee for the Cause only roasts and sell higher quality Arabica beans.
Arabica beans are grown all around the world in the tropics between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn.
We buy our beans from coffee brokers who purchase coffee from fair trade farms and plantations all over the world.
Why we do
what we do
As roasters, we have decided to use the roast chart shown about Coffee Roasting, to illustrate the coffee roasts we use. We use the roasts in the middle of the chart, City Roast, Full City Roast, Vienna Roast, and French Roast.
The 4 lighter roasts have a “grassy”, flavor and Italian Roast (The darkest roast on the chart) has a burnt taste to it.
We believe the roasts we offer our customers, are the roasts that most people enjoy.
