Our Logo Our Name
[/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]The X in our logo starts green and changes colour to yellow then brown. This is a representation of how coffee beans are prior to being roasted, starting off green in colour. During the roasting process, the beans go through a drying phase in which case they turn yellow as moisture from each bean is removed. Once the drying phase is complete, the beans eventually make their way to the brown coffee colour we are all familiar with.
Coffee follows a temperature profile during the roasting process. Before the roasting commences, we set our drum roaster to a certain temperature before dropping the raw green beans in, which start at room temperature. The temperature of the roaster is recorded throughout the roasting process and this initial loading of the green beans, results in the overall temperature of the roaster dropping.
The curved segment of the X depicts this temperature profile with the initial drop in temperature through to first and second crack, (gaps at the top end of the X) until where the beans are dropped out of the roaster and rapidly cooled. If you follow the curve from left to right then, and think of it in terms of temperature, there is an initial dip in temperature from the start. As the beans continue along their roasting journey, the temperature rises over time until they are ready and cooled.
Roasting coffee is a delicate balance to ensure the coffee is roasted long enough but without taking it too far so that the best attributes the coffee has to offer, make their way to the cup. A few degrees, minutes or even seconds can and does impact the coffees overall flavour. Once the coffee has reached its potential along the roast profile, the beans are dropped out of the roaster and then cooled. And the latin word for the point at which the largest value occurs as part of a function, is Maxima.[/vc_column_text][dt_gap height=”30″][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”1178″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
