READ THE BAG

Six things every specialty bag tells you — and what they mean for your cup.

1/7
Read first

Origin tells you the terroir

Country · region · farm · altitude

A specialty bag lists country (Ethiopia), region (Yirgacheffe), often the washing station or farm, and altitude in MASL. Higher altitude = denser bean, brighter acidity, more complex aromatics.

CRAFT NOTE

When a roaster prints the producer's name, they're telling you a person — not a commodity — grew this. Read it out loud.
