Why we rest our coffee

We roast on a Loring S15, and one thing we've learned is that our coffees need time. At least 2 weeks off roast, sometimes 3+ before everything really comes together.

It's not just us - we've had the same feedback from customers brewing at home. The sweetness, the clarity, it all shows up later than you'd expect.

So if you get a bag and the roast date is recent, give it some time. It's worth the wait.
