See the Art of Roasting Coffee Beans

As you inhale the scent of your freshly poured cup of coffee, take just a minute to appreciate the science and art that went into its creation. From the careful planting and harvesting to the artful roasting, the final taste and characteristics of the gourmet coffee you taste is impacted by several people and conditions.

Here at Brown and Jenkins in Cambridge, Vermont our master roaster Glenn uses his senses and knowledge to combine art and science in the crafting of each single origin coffee bean and specialty blend he creates. Now that, hopefully, we've seen the last of the falling snow and the start of spring, tour groups are starting to visit this part of the state for the warmer weather, rather than for the skiing. Many of those groups stop by to watch and listen to Glenn as he takes coffee beans on the journey from green to freshly roasted. And so can you!

Call or stop by during roasting and I think you'll be mesmerized at the artful method required to roast green coffee beans to the point of perfection. I'm still wowed at Glenn's sense of knowing when each bean comes to the place it needs to be for the specific blend he is making. We make our coffee beans to order and send to our online Coffee Break Club members, as well as our local customers.

So stop by and get a first hand glimpse at the coffee roasting process and we'll share a cup of coffee!

Until our next cup,
Sandy Riggen
