THE LIFECYCLE OF COFFEE

The Seed

The journey begins with two small ripe seeds inside the cherry of the Coffea tree. The variety (Bourbon, Catuai, Pacamara, Typica) determines the natural sweetness, acidity, density, and aroma.

THE LIFECYCLE OF COFFEE

Cultivation & Growth

The Coffea tree can take up to five years to fully mature. During this time, farmers will maintain soil health to ensure there will be no harsh flavors in the coffee. Trees grown in the shade will mature more slowly, allowing more nuanced flavors and acidity.

THE LIFECYCLE OF COFFEE

Harvesting

Only perfectly ripe cherries are picked often by hand, one at a time. Harvesters will judge each cherry by touch, color, and resistance. A perfectly ripe cherry will bring out the sweetness, clarity, and balanced acidity of the coffee bean.

THE LIFECYCLE OF COFFEE

Processing

Once harvested, cherries must be processed quickly to prevent fermentation flaws. The three most common methods are washed, natural, and honey. The way the cherries are processed will contribute to the coffee bean's clarity, acidity, body, and flavor notes.

THE LIFECYCLE OF COFFEE

Drying

Beans are spread across raised beds and dried slowly under the sun. Farmers will constantly churn the cherries to ensure even moisture and protect flavor quality. Controlled drying results in cups that age well and maintain a consistent taste over time.

Sorting & Grading

After drying, beans are hulled and sorted by size, density, and appearance, removing all defects. The more meticulous the sorting process is, the cleaner your cup of coffee will taste.

THE LIFECYCLE OF COFFEE

Roasting

Roasting unlocks the hidden flavors inside each coffee bean. Heat caramelizes sugars, transforms aromas, and brings out the origin’s unique character. The darker a bean is roasted, the more the coffee leans toward smoky, cacao-like, and bitter notes with lower acidity. Lighter roasts emphasize floral, fruity, and brighter flavors, accompanied by a lighter body.

Packaging & Freshness

Freshly roasted beans release CO₂, so they’re packed in airtight bags with one-way valves that let gas escape while keeping oxygen out. Most coffee will retain its balanced flavor for 1–2 months.

The Final Chapter

Coffee can be ground and brewed in countless ways, each shaping the flavor in its own unique style. But at BeanCycle, there’s only one way to experience your cup: holistically, mindfully, and thoughtfully. Every sip is an invitation to slow down, savor the moment, and appreciate the journey that brought these beans to you.

Great Balance

It was very smooth, fresh, and not bitter. The crazy goat is fantastic! I also noticed subtle hints of flavor that complemented its fresh taste, and I don’t think I would even need to add honey or another sweetener. It was very smooth, fresh, and not bitter.
