About Coffee - Processing

     All of the coffee we roast here at Late for the Train comes from the Coffea Arabica plant which is originally indigenous to Ethiopia. The plant has beautiful star shaped white blossoms which bloom at the base of their broad leaves. The fruit that grows on this plant is the real treasure. Underneath many layers of skin and pulp lies the coffee bean! Coffea Arabica plants require specific geographical and meteorological conditions to flourish. They generally need frost-free conditions, without high-temperature extremes, plentiful water in a well-drained environment, and plenty of shade! The plants are commonly planted below taller shade trees to provide around two hours of direct sunlight a day. Altitude is also an important contributing factor to a flavorful bean. Coffee grown at higher altitude is generally denser and slower growing which creates a more complex and "specialty" cup.
