Roasters
Fresh Coffee Network develops direct relationships with local roasters who encompass a shared vision that requires coffee to be labeled and ‘Roast Dated’. This date is critical to ensure freshness to the buyer/consumer. All roasters must also agree to strict guidelines concerning the sourcing, roasting, packaging and labeling of Certified Fresh Roasted Coffees. All coffees must be certified organic & fair trade at a minimum.
Who are the Local Roasters?
In order to be a Local Roaster for the Fresh Coffee Network, a roaster must:
- Love Coffee
- Be dedicated to the craft of roasting
- Join the network and agree to the transparent conditions related to the supply of fresh coffee
We are only just beginning and in many regions a Fresh Coffee Network roaster has not yet been established. If you are a roaster and would like information on becoming a network roaster or if you are coffee lover that knows a great local roaster. Click here and send us an e-mail.
What if an FCN Local Roaster Does Not Exist?
If you are not serviced by local roasters there are three options:
- Place your order and choose a shipping option.
- Seek out a local roaster and ask about their policies.
- Roast your own coffee. For information on roasting please visit Merchants of Green Coffee.
