-- HISTORY --

Welcome to The Fresh Bean Coffee Company, located in historic Stafford, Virginia.  Let us give you a little history about our company.  Our company was established in 1996.  We have always loved coffee and decided to indulge our passion for this brew by creating The Fresh Bean.

Our company is based on the philosophy that a cup of arabica coffee is worth every penny you spend only if the beans are of the finest quality and handled properly at every phase of processing.   We choose the internet as a means for building our customer base and are pleased to say that many of our patrons have become our friends.  We also offer accounts for wholesale purchases.

-- FROM BEAN --

The Fresh Bean purchases only arabica beans which have been hand picked and classified as Class 1 coffees.  Arabica beans are a different botanical species than commercial coffees which are robusto.  Arabica coffees are grown at higher altitudes, require greater care yet are lower in caffeine content than robusto beans.  Because the fruit of an individual coffee plant do not ripen at the same rate beans must be hand picked on a daily basis to ensure ripeness.  Coffee beans are then dried and graded.  Class 1 coffees are those which have no defects and are of the highest quality.

-- TO ROAST --

Arabica Beans

Each coffee has something different to offer in terms of taste and body.  Each harvest is first cup-tested prior to approval for batch roasting and sale.  In order to extract the essence which is distinctive of each bean's origin, all coffees are roasted in small batches using a  patented slow roasting process.  Because the essence of coffee beans is not an oil but a substance which is water soluble (hence the taste in your cup) and will evaporate roasted beans are immediately protected from moisture, air and light. 

Roasting Process

-- TO YOU --

The Fresh Bean roasts only those coffees for which orders have been received.  Your coffee is then shipped to you via priority mail within 48 hours of the roasting process.  This is the method by which we can guarantee our customers the freshest coffee possible.

-- TO CUP --

Cup

This is your part. In order to use your coffees at their peak of freshness we suggest you order as much coffee as you will consume in no more than a four week period.  If possible order your coffee whole bean as ground coffee begins to go stale within one hour no matter how you store it.  Place your coffees in air tight containers away from direct light.  Protect them from moisture and radial changes in temperature.

Because the essence contained in the coffee bean is delicate and can be adversely affected by the chemicals common in tap water  the best cup is brewed with filtered or bottled water.  Lastly, treat yourself - take a moment to enjoy the aroma, taste and body of your coffee - you deserve it.

-- THE GUARANTEE --

The Fresh Bean Coffee Company welcomes you and guarantees each customer that traditional coffee knowledge has been expertly employed from coffee field to your home.  Should you have any questions please contact us via phone or e-mail - we love to talk coffee almost as much as we love to drink it!
