The Blends

Now, let’s talk about the coffee

The importers who source Fernwood Coffee Company beans work directly with coffee farmers to develop and import high quality certified organic product. Long term commitments and the continuing work and training of growers, provide the necessary foundation for the sustainability of the coffee projects. Increasing coffee quality and improving the quality of life for farmers, their families, communities, and the environment that surrounds them are the building blocks for Fernwood Coffee Company’s great coffee.

The Perfect Cup

Storage
Your beans have three enemies, moisture, heat and oxygen. So...dry, cool and airtight are the way to go. No freezers please.

Grinding
Grind fresh just before brewing. The faster the method of brewing, the finer the grind. i.e. espresso-very fine, French press-coarse.

Brewing
Water makes up 98.5% of your brew so choose wisely. Fresh, cold, filtered.

Experts believe that perfect flavor is achieved when a brew has 1.4 percent solids in solution. In case you brew in your kitchen rather than a chemistry lab, try this proportion of coffee to water:

2 heaping tablespoons per 250 ml (8 ounces) (This isn’t written in stone so brew for your taste and have fun experimenting.)
