Fishing with Coffee Stories
Featured Fly Tyer - Matt Germino
"The fly that means the most to me is the Royal Coachman. This fly holds a special place for me because it's the first fly I ever caught a fish on. For this Coachman, I substituted calf tail for the wings simply out of personal preference."

Seed to Cup - Keep it Fresh
No matter how a coffee is processed or roasted and regardless of whether it is single origin or a blend, once it is roasted, all coffee is extremely perishable. Beans reach their peak flavor only about two to three days after roasting. That peak is steep; beans start to degrade in quality almost immediately after.

Seed to Cup - Roasting establishes flavor.
Think about roasting marshmallows. Some people like to just heat the marshmallow up ever so slightly, lightly browning the outside and warming the inside. A lightly roasted marshmallow still has a lot of the same sugar sweetness and flavors it had before roasting. Medium roasting the marshmallow will move away from that straight sugary sweetness and yield more of that toasted caramelized flavor. And then there is the dark roasted marshmallow, where some sweetness may exist, but the flavor you are really after is that smoky char. Everyone has a marshmallow roast preference, and most people have a coffee roast preference too.
