Behind the Roast: Our Vietnam-Forward Sourcing & Commitment to Freshness

We're often asked how we make our high-caffeine coffee so unbelievably smooth. The answer isn’t a single secret—it’s a commitment to a process that starts in the highlands of Vietnam and ends the moment we ship our beans to you.

This is a look at how we choose our green coffee, tune our roast curves, and guarantee freshness, ensuring that for us, “strong” never means “harsh.”

Why We’re Vietnam-Forward

The soul of our coffee is high-quality Vietnamese Robusta. We choose it for its incredible flavor density, its consistent quality year after year, and its unmatched crema potential in espresso. It provides the perfect, powerful, and chocolate-forward base for our signature Smooth Strength™ blends.

Our Roast-Wave Freshness System

Coffee is a fresh product, and its flavor peaks just days after roasting. That’s why we don’t let our beans sit on a shelf. We roast in small, frequent batches we call “roast waves” and put the roast date on every single bag, so you always know you’re experiencing our coffee at its absolute best.

Our 3-Step Quality Check

Before any bean makes it into your bag, it goes through our rigorous quality control process:

1. Green Bean Analysis: We test all incoming green coffee for the ideal moisture and density levels, which are essential for an even, consistent roast.
2. Micro-Roast Profiling: We create multiple test roasts for each new lot to find the perfect “roast curve” that highlights sweetness and minimizes bitterness.
3. Brew Dial-Ins: We cup and test each final roast profile across multiple brew methods to ensure it tastes as great for you at home as it does in our lab.
