Why We Roast Coffee in the Pre-Dawn Hours

While most of the world is still asleep, our roasters are already at work. At 4 a.m., the roaster drum begins to turn, filling the air with the rich aroma of beans transforming from green to deep brown. It’s not just dedication—it’s a business decision made with your customers in mind.

Coffee is at its best within days of roasting. The natural oils and aromas that make a morning cup so flavorful begin to fade quickly. By starting our day before sunrise often, we can roast, package, and ship fresh coffee all in one day. That means when your customer’s order arrives, it’s not weeks old—it’s as fresh as possible, full of bold flavor and complexity.

Roasting early also keeps our workflow efficient. Quiet hours mean fewer interruptions, so every batch gets our full attention. Once roasting is complete, the rest of the day is dedicated to preparing orders, managing inventory, and making sure shipments move quickly—both across town and across the globe.

For us, pre-dawn roasting is about more than keeping a schedule—it’s about keeping a promise. Every bag of coffee we send is roasted with care, packaged with purpose, and delivered at peak freshness. That way, no matter where your customers are, their cup tastes just the way it should: vibrant, balanced, and unforgettable.
