I Learned A Bit About It
Coffee beans start out a green color, and, in this state, they don’t really have a smell or taste. When they are roasted, they shrink to about half their size. When they are first roasted, all of the natural oils, nutrients, and chemical compounds leave the bean, and you get a powerful smell of earthy flavors that is almost like leather and chocolate.
Time for the actual taste test. Yes, that is a cute stuffed golden retriever on my pink couch 🙂

Because of all the natural chemicals that come out of the beans when they’re roasted, it should sit for a bit before it is packaged and shipped to you. The website I tried out also has an option to send the beans already ground up, but I personally do the grinding myself. This way, I have the absolute freshest cup of coffee when I wake up in the morning. #MyCoffeeGameIsOnPoint
Try the Tanzania bean here. It had a great flavor to it.
