Simply really good coffee

The beans make all the difference.
Red 5 Coffee only roasts quality beans. Of course, that's what they all say, but here is why our beans are different.
I say "our" beans because there are only four people involved from ground to grind.
The farmer, the importer, the roaster, the brewer.
You are the fourth person to ever touch these beans.

The Farmer
Nicolas Calle Chininin grew these beans in San Jose de Lourdes, Peru

The Importer
My friends, Cesar & Izabella, importer green coffee beans to Cincinnati directly from Peru.

The Roaster
It's me, Jeff. The guy behind Red 5 Coffee. Let me roast and deliver great coffee to your door.

4 Ways To Identify Specialty Coffee
Here are a few “tests” many of us use to identify how deeply involved in the specialty community a coffee company is (compared to the regular commodity industry).
-
The coffee origin test. Does the coffee packaging transparently give you information about the coffee’s origin region, processing method, or farm. Usually, the more information a roaster gives you, the more proud they are of their high-quality partner farms.

Why Many Don't Consider Starbucks 'Specialty'
To many, Starbucks doesn’t meet the standards we just discussed.
-
They don’t publish specific roast dates on coffee bags (their beans are often weeks or months old when you buy them)
-
They don’t usually publish specific information on the coffee origins
-
They tend to have more general flavor notes
