OUR COFFEE
ORIGINS
The quality of a coffee depends above all on the quality of the raw materials.
This is the reason why we at Dwyfor dedicate so much attention to the selection of the finest coffee bean from those countries that produce it.
All the cultivation phases of the coffee are watched carefully by our experts and are subject to multiple checks. Because of this, the plant can grow healthily and produce an excellent quality of red berries. These berries hide their most precious treasure: the green beans.
The beans are dried by the sun, decorticated and then shipped to UK for production.
PRODUCTION
ROASTING
Coffee is a small red fruit that must go through many different stages before it reaches your cup. First, coffee is processed to remove the outer skin, pulp, and inner parchment skin. Once that is complete, the inner seed, otherwise known as the coffee bean, is dried
When it’s dried it becomes the green coffee bean that is shipped around the world for roasting.
The coffee bean is like a dry pinto bean, meaning it can be stored for long periods of time and still become fresh once it goes through the roasting process. If you didn’t roast coffee, the drink would be bitter and very acidic, making it essentially undrinkable. Roasting gives coffee its unique flavors and aromas.
Green coffee changes drastically during the roasting process. When you roast coffee, moisture is forced out of the bean, causing it to dry and expand
During the process, some of the natural sugars are converted into CO2 gas while others are caramelized into some of the flavours that help form the complex flavours in the coffee. When the process is complete, the green bean will transform into a brown bean that is about 18% lighter while being 50 to 100% larger.
BLENDING
This is a very important phase of the process. It is a mixture of two or more different origin coffee beans that are mixed together. The idea is to take the best qualities from different origins to create a smooth, well-balanced tasting coffee. A lot of coffee blends are designed to work either with or without milk.
One of the main advantages of blends is the fact that they are not as overpowering as single origins, so work well as the base for your traditional espresso-based drinks such as lattes and cappuccinos
PACKAGING
In order to keep our coffee fresh and maintain its quality, Packaging is carried out in a protected environment where the coffee is vacuum-packed.
Over recent years, we have endeavoured to green. Where possible we try to use recyclable or compostable packaging. This is a real challenge…
