From Bean to Cup: Our Sourcing Story

  • September 20, 2023

At Brews and News, every cup of coffee tells a story—a story of dedication, sustainability, and the intricate journey from bean to cup. Our commitment to bringing you the finest coffee begins long before the beans ever reach our roasters. It starts at the source, with farmers who cultivate each coffee cherry with care and precision, upholding sustainable practices that honor the environment and the communities they support.

The journey begins in the lush, mountainous regions of renowned coffee-growing countries. Here, our partnerships with local farmers are built on trust and a shared vision for quality and sustainability. These farmers employ traditional, sustainable practices such as shade-grown cultivation, which helps maintain biodiversity and soil health. This age-old technique not only produces premium coffee beans but also fosters a thriving ecosystem where coffee plants and native flora coexist harmoniously.

Harvesting season is a pivotal time in the coffee-growing calendar. Each coffee cherry is hand-picked at peak ripeness, ensuring that only the best make it into your cup. This meticulous process is a labor of love, performed primarily on small-scale farms where families have passed down their coffee-growing expertise through generations. By choosing partners who emphasize fair labor practices and community development, Brews and News ensures that the benefits of coffee production are fairly distributed.

The next leg of the journey sees the beans carefully sorted and processed. Depending on the region and the desired flavor profile, beans undergo various processing methods, such as washed, natural, or honey processing. These methods not only define the unique taste characteristics of the beans but also emphasize sustainability in water usage and waste management. Our farmers are committed to minimizing environmental impact, employing innovative techniques that recycle coffee pulp into natural fertilizers and reduce water consumption.

Once processed, the beans embark on their voyage to our state-of-the-art roasting facility. Here, cutting-edge technology meets artisanal craftsmanship as our roasters work their magic, coaxing out complex flavors and aromas through precise control of temperature and timing. Every batch of coffee is roasted to perfection, ensuring consistency and quality that our patrons have come to expect and cherish.

Throughout this journey, from the sun-kissed slopes of coffee farms to the gentle swirl of a freshly brewed cup, Brews and News stands by a simple promise: to deliver exceptional coffee that holds sustainability at its core. Our initiatives extend beyond the bean, as we continually seek to minimize our environmental footprint by investing in compostable packaging, supporting reforestation projects, and promoting a circular economy within our operations.

Every cup of Brews and News coffee is an invitation—to wake up to the world, to taste the harmony of craft and nature, and to join us in our pledge to support sustainable practices in the coffee industry. Together, let's celebrate the journey from bean to cup, where every sip contributes to a story of positive change for people and the planet.
