Price and availability set by the roaster.

Batch roasted weekly

Roasted on a scheduled weekly rhythm. Very fresh if you order right after a roast day; less so near the end of the cycle.

“Our main roasting days are Tuesday, Thursday & Sunday, and we also roast small batches between those scheduled dates” source ↗
