La Tierra Co-op roasts in small batches to give all of our roasts a specific taste. This gives you the perfect quality and consistency in every cup of coffee.
The custom roast gives us better control of the temperature used for each of our coffees and gives the time needed for the aromas to come out, contrary to commercial roasting.
Our products are available in bags of 227g (1/2 lb), 454g (1 lb) et 2270g(5 lb). Please contact us for a price list.
