MÉNAGE is roasted in small batches to ensure quality and consistency.
We find this easier to control the roasting process and to make sure that all of the coffee beans get a similar roast.
Small batch roasting leads to a certain level of superior quality control that cannot be matched in larger batches. A secondary benefit to small batch roasting is that it significantly reduces the amount of time between roasting and packaging coffee beans that are roasted the same day your order is shipped!
