What is the Sustainable Profile Project?

The 'House Coffee' series by April, also known as their 'Sustainable Profile' Coffee. The idea is to grow together with partner producers that April already purchase smaller lots from. Importantly, the farmer sets the price they want for the green coffee based on their own valuation, giving them a more predictable revenue structure. This symbiotic relationship between the farmer and April means the farmer gets a consistent and predictable income, and April get consistent and predictable coffee all-year round.

What is the roast recency?

We recommend brewing with beans that are at least two weeks off roast. All beans are roasted to peak flavour at around 8-12 weeks. We have the option to either purchase standard beans (at least 2 weeks but no longer than 6 weeks off roast), or rested beans (at least 7 weeks off roast, no longer than 12). For peak flavour, if you are looking to use immediately, we recommend purchasing the rested beans. If you are adding to your rotation of beans, we recommend purchasing the standard and allowing the beans to naturally rest and mature whilst you rotate through other beans.
