Our approach at Liberdade Coffee
1. Sorting
Once the coffee beans have arrived in the workshop first job is to hand sort them, prepping them for the roast. This process simply involves removing spoiled beans and any foreign materials; the odd, dead bug stowaway who came along for the ride from the farm. Hand sorting through endless kilos of coffee beans sounds time consuming...it is.
Welcome to small batch coffee roasting.
2. Roasting and Cupping
A key role in unlocking the myriad of natural flavour found in the coffee bean can be found at the roasting stage. Every bean variety has its own distinct personality, so we have developed a different roasting profile for each.
Roasting drives off volatile acids from the beans and converts amino acids and sugars into more tasty fully formed flavour compounds through the Maillard reaction (browning process).
3. Development
We then leave coffee stored in big containers for 8-10 days to develop it full flavour. Sometimes “fresher” isn’t necessarily better.
4. Grind and Pack
The coffee beans are then thrown into one of our Universal grinders(unless supplied as a whole). These machines break down the coffee beans according to our customer preferred size. By the end of the grind particle size reduces between filter and espresso grind according to your request.
The coffee is then prepared for labelling and shipping.
