First Crack roasts three origins in small batches at 412 Foundry Lane
— sunlit mornings, a rising-sun cup, and beans shipped within 48 hours of the roast.
Every lot is chosen for a place and a season — washed highlands in Ethiopia
and Colombia, a wet-hulled hillside in Sumatra. We taste before we buy, and we buy for character,
not for a number on a sticker.
Three origins, roasted to let each one sing: bright and floral, caramel and deep,
or dark and resinous. The paperwork travels with the bag so you know exactly what you are drinking.
Light to dark, each origin keeps its own color — ochre, burnt orange, avocado.
San Agustin is the house cup we pull most mornings.

The roast
Roasted in small batches, by ear.
We roast on a drum and listen for the first crack — the moment the bean opens up.
Each origin gets its own curve, then rests and ships while it is still lively.
