How people cook with it
This coffee is perfect for starting your day or enjoying a warm beverage during a break. It can be brewed using various methods to suit your preference.
- Morning coffee ritual

To prepare, grind the beans to your desired coarseness, depending on your brewing method. For drip coffee makers, a medium grind is typically recommended. If using a French press, a coarser grind works best. For espresso, a fine grind is necessary. Measure the coffee grounds and hot water according to your preferred ratio, usually around 1-2 tablespoons of coffee per 6 ounces of water. Brew until the coffee is fully extracted. Serve hot, black, or with your favorite additions like milk, cream, or sugar.

How to keep the rest
Once opened, store the coffee in an airtight container in a cool, dark place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. This helps preserve the freshness and aromatic qualities of the beans. Avoid storing in the refrigerator or freezer, as this can introduce moisture and affect the flavor.
