Cupping Coffee Is at the Center of Our Craft

Coffee is the seed of a tropical evergreen shrub. Growers around the world harvest and process a wide range of coffee varietals grown under widely different conditions. The genetics of the plant and the "origin terroir” greatly contribute to the character of the coffee you wind up tasting in the cup. At the Brooklyn Roasting Company we search out the world’s finest coffees and expertly roast them to tease out their many colorful characters. Our coffee team is constantly evaluating the coffees we source (or consider sourcing). At the outset, we measure the moisture content of incoming “green” and then sample roast these lots to determine the optimal profile for each coffee on a larger, commercial scale. We cup each sample roast on rotating stone tables equipped with circulating hot water baths, and a thick, tempered glass surface that floats on zany 1960’s superballs and hula hoops. This playful, colorful backdrop to cupping and assessing coffee–the core of our craft– is a constant reminder to appreciate and unlock the flavors and aromas that characterize the extraordinary beans we buy. Taken together with our “Color of Coffee” tasting approach, this crucial quality control step typifies our “serious but not snobby” approach.

normal and plain. If you searching for Japanese style roasted beans might not be a solid choice.

Store owner replied: Your go-to is in good hands, Juan. Thanks for making the Japan Blend part of your routine!

I love many of BRC roasts but when I tried the Japan blend for the first time, it was an instant match. I normally drink it as an espresso at home and love all the notes I get from it. It became part of my morning routine and I try to always have at home.

Store owner replied: An instant match as espresso, love to hear it, Juan. Thanks for keeping the Japan Blend stocked at home!

This has exactly the same dark roast flavor I used to enjoy in Japan. I was really happy to find it in the U.S., and I’ve been ordering it ever since. My family in Canada loves it as well.

Japan Blend

Store owner replied: Tasting like the dark roast you loved in Japan is about the best compliment the Japan Blend could get. Thank you, Iruka, and hello to your family in Canada!

Love this blend. What a treat. Even a bit of sweetness to the experience. I go from Brooklyn blend to Brooklyn blend but Japan is definitely a favorite!

Japan Blend

Store owner replied: Out of all the blends you've tried, the Japan Blend being a favorite means a lot. Thanks, Jane!

Japan Roast is my favorite coffee. It’s a little pricy, but worth the expense for a treat.

Japan Blend

Store owner replied: We think every morning deserves a little treat! Thanks for making the Japan Blend your favorite.

I absolutely love this blend! It’s incredibly smooth and flavorful. What sets this brand apart is that you don’t need to add sugar to your coffee. If you do, you risk losing out on the rich flavors.

Japan Blend

Store owner replied: No sugar needed is the best compliment a coffee can get! Thanks, Annie. So glad you love the Japan Blend.

This is my favorite coffee. It has the right amount of strength and robustness, and tastes pretty good. It does not have a bad acidic aftertaste like some dark brews have. Sometimes I just open the can and sniff. It's toasty, chocolate cherry nutty. It reminds me of the taste of chocolate covered bluberries. Great with almond or oatmilk, no sugar needed.

Japan Blend

Store owner replied: Chocolate covered blueberries is such a great way to describe it, Gina! We love that you open the can just to smell it. Thanks for the lovely review.

Bought it for the design, and have loved the coffee so much it's all I've drank since! Perfect for my pour over ritual
