The Process

a

selecting the beans

At GCco., we offer a rotating selection of fresh coffee from all over the globe, as well as few custom blends to keep things interesting. The process for selecting those beans is a true partnership. We rely on importers to provide us with information to help make the initial selection. In that, we consider harvest times, specific growing regions, elevation, and processing methods. However, to garner more control over the coffee, we’re developing a direct relationship with a few bean farmers. We anticipate our first arrival this July, and will provide additional information when it becomes available.

The Beans

GCco’s mission is to source, roast, and share some of the finest coffee on earth. Our beans do change, from time to time; below is a link to GCco’s current beans and blends. The roast menu is broken down into the country of roast, the specific farm (or producing cooperative), the variety of coffee species, the altitude at which the bean was grown, and the processing method. If you have any questions, about our beans or our bean choices, just give us a call; we love talking about all things coffee!

The Roastery

As for our production process, it’s pretty simple; we roast, sample, package and repeat. At GCco., every step is scrutinized for absolute perfection; plan and simple, if the coffee doesn’t meet our standards, we wont package it. For a glorious deep-dive into the Roasting Process; please follow this link, to the National Coffee Association’s website. They offer detailed information into the science, and art, of roasting coffee beans.

The Roaster

Justin Thompson has been passionate about coffee roasting since the late 1990s, when he first experimented with a popcorn popper to roast his own beans.
