WHOLESALE

Fair Trade Coffee Roasted in Bethlehem, NH

We began roasting coffee out of a deep passion for the intricate flavors and aromas that each bean can offer.

The journey started when Steve and I discovered the vast difference between store-bought coffee and freshly roasted beans. The rich, nuanced tastes and the satisfaction of controlling every step of the roasting process drew us in. We realized this needed to be part of our business model.

Roasting coffee is a way to connect with the art and science behind this beloved beverage and to share that experience with friends and family.

THE PROCESS

Roasting Equipment and Method

Roasted Above the Notch used a Diedrich IR-5 roaster, a high-quality piece of equipment that allows for precise control over the roasting process. This roaster is central to our operation, enabling us to produce a variety of roast levels and flavor profiles.

Sourcing of Green Beans

The roastery sources its green coffee beans from shade-grown, fair-trade suppliers, ensuring a commitment to sustainability and ethical practices. This approach aligns with the overall mission of The Place Above The Notch to support environmentally and socially responsible coffee production.

Roasting Process and Quality

The roasting process is carefully managed by Steve Cleveland, our Bean Roasting Operator, to produce high-quality coffee. The beans are roasted every week, and orders are fulfilled with roasts that are between 1-7 days off roast, allowing them to degas and reach their optimal brewing state. The roastery aims to create roasts that are not only delicious but also reflective of the local culture and history.
