CLR Roasters employs about 20 people with a combined experience of 100 years. The many steps of quality control ensure quality in every batch.
We use only prime, LARGE beans — none of the smaller “peanuts,” which are bitter and inferior; we blend three separate types of Arabica beans; and we always begin with GREEN beans that are water WASHED (a key part of the overall process).
Our beans are roasted at precisely 458 degrees Fahrenheit, then are fully cooled before being stored in bins. All batches are kept small in order to assure peak freshness and flavor. Our current roasting capacity is around 10 million pounds a year, and work is underway to double that capacity.
Beans for JavaFit Coffee are grown at high altitude in Central and South America, above the clouds. Each coffee tree produces about 1-1/2 pounds of beans a year, and the trees are kept shaded by both guava and banana trees to make them produce higher quality beans.
