Where are the beans grown?
Gourmet coffee is harvested only from high grown Arabica plants. Arabica coffee is grown in the moist mountainous regions of the tropics anywhere between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn below the equator. Coffee is grown from sea level to 7000 feet, but higher quality grades are grown between 4000 and 7000 feet in the shade.
When are the beans picked and processed?
The berries are picked only when ripe. They are either dry or wet processed. After the process, the beans are graded according to size, color, shape, ripeness, and the altitude at which they were grown. The fewer the defects, the higher the grade. Only high-grade coffees are used at Sue’s Coffee Roasting Company.
How is the roasting done at Sue’s?
Roasting is done in small batches at Sue’s and is simple in theory. Green beans are heated to temperatures of 460° - 480° F. They are kept moving to avoid uneven roasting, and then cooled.
