A Strictly Hard Bean (SHB) coffee grows at altitudes of 1,200 meters above sea level or higher. When coffee cherries grow at high altitudes, they tend to mature more slowly. This allows the fruit to take in more nutrients, resulting in denser, sweeter green coffee beans that are considered higher quality. During dry milling, this lot was further sorted to European Preparation (EP) standards with a minimum screen size of 15 and above and a maximum of eight defects within 300 grams.

EP stands for European Preparation, a quality standard indicating that green coffee beans have undergone rigorous screen grading and hand-sorting to remove defects.

PLEASE NOTE: Ordering ground coffee may result in a three-day shipping delay as we always let our coffee gas out for three days after roasting before we grind in order to allow the flavors to develop. Whole bean is always recommended to maintain freshness for longer but we’re happy to grind it for you!
