Heritage and Tradition

 

Nestled in Europe, Van Ash's journey is steeped in a proud tradition of coffee excellence. Our story is deeply intertwined with a legacy dedicated to the art of coffee cultivation and roasting. Knowledge and secret recipes have been carefully nurtured, ensuring that each sip of Van Ash coffee evokes a sense of tradition and excellence.

Our passion for travel and exploration has taken us to the lush coffee plantations of Guatemala, the sun-soaked farms of Brazil, and the vibrant highlands of Ethiopia. These journeys have inspired unique blends that capture the essence of these diverse regions. Each flavor is crafted to tell a story, a journey through the rich and varied landscapes where our beans are grown.

The Craft of Coffee Roasting

 

At Van Ash, we view roasting coffee as both an art and a science. Our expert roasters transform green coffee beans into aromatic, flavorful masterpieces through a meticulous process:

Loading: Green coffee beans are carefully placed into preheated roasting machines, ready to embark on their journey.

Drying Phase: The beans are gently heated to remove moisture, setting the stage for flavor development.

Yellowing Phase: As the beans turn yellow, they release a grassy aroma, signaling the beginning of their transformation.

Browning Phase: The Maillard reaction deepens the beans' color and enhances their complex flavors, filling the air with a rich aroma.

First Crack: At this critical moment, the beans crack and expand, marking a significant transition in the roasting process.

Development Phase: Our skilled roast masters fine-tune the roast profile, ensuring each bean reaches its full flavor potential.

Second Crack (if applicable): For darker roasts, the beans may undergo a second crack, creating deeper, richer flavors.

We specialize in a range of roast profiles—light, medium, and dark—each offering a distinct taste experience. Our roast masters monitor each batch with unparalleled attention to detail, ensuring that every roast meets our exacting standards.

Exclusivity and Quality

 

Our dedication to small batch roasting underscores our commitment to excellence and craftsmanship. This artisanal approach allows us to maintain complete control over the process, ensuring that each batch delivers the exceptional taste that defines Van Ash.

Quality control is paramount. Every batch of coffee undergoes rigorous scrutiny from the moment it arrives at our facility. We evaluate the beans for size, color, and density, ensuring only the finest beans make it to your cup. During roasting, we continually assess each batch for aroma, color changes, and roast evenness. After roasting, we cup and taste each batch, making any necessary adjustments to uphold our high standards.

Packaging Perfection

 

The journey doesn’t end with roasting. Proper storage and packaging are crucial to maintaining the rich flavor and aroma of our coffee. Each batch is stored in airtight containers, protecting it from oxygen, moisture, and heat. Our specially designed packaging allows for the release of carbon dioxide while preventing external air from entering, preserving the coffee’s unique flavor profile until it reaches your cup.
