Coffee Is A Fresh Food. So Why Is Most Coffee Months Old?

Most people think of coffee as a pantry item.

You buy a bag, put it in the cupboard, and enjoy a cup every morning. It seems simple enough.  

But here's something many coffee drinkers don't realize:

Coffee is Food

Like fresh bread, roasted nuts, or spices, coffee is at it's best when it's fresh. While it won't spoil overnight, time slowly changes what you taste in the cup. 

The Freshness Most People Never See

Walk into a grocery store and take a look at the coffee aisle. 

The shelves are stocked with dozens of brands, all waiting to be purchased. Some bags have been sitting in warehouses, on trucks, in distribution centers, and finally on the store shelves before they ever make it into your shopping cart.

By the time you brew your first cup, that coffee may have been roasted weeks and quite possibly months earlier. The bag may still look perfected but the coffee inside is no longer at its peak.

Freshly Roasted Coffee Tells A Different Story

Fresh coffee has a aroma that fills the room when you open the bag. It produces a more vibrant, balanced cup with flavors that stand out instead of blending into a dull, flat taste.

Many people don't realize what they have been missing until they have experience coffee roasted specifically for them. It's one of those differences that's hard to explain  - but easy to taste!

Why We Refuse To Fill A Warehouse

At Oak Glen Coffee Company, we don't believe coffee should spend months sitting in inventory waiting for someone to buy it. Instead , we roast your coffee for you. It is a slower approach, but we believe it's the right way to enjoy coffee to it's fullest.

Your Order Date Is Within Days Of Your Roast Date

One promise we're proud to make is simple:

Your Order date is within days of your roast date.

That means the coffee arriving at your door was roasted specifically for your order - not pulled from a warehouse shelf. It's one of the biggest differences between specialty roast-to-order coffee and mass produced coffee. 

Once You Taste Fresh, It's Hard To Go Back

Many of our customers tell us the first thing they notice is the aroma. Then they notice how smooth the coffee tastes. Then they realize they don't want to go back to coffee that's been sitting on the shelf for months. 

Freshness isn't just a detail. It's the foundation of a great cup of coffee!

Experience The Difference

At Oak Glen Coffee Company, freshness isn't a marketing phrase. It's how we do business.

Every order is roasted in small batches after it's placed because we believe that's the best way to deliver exceptional coffee. After all, if coffee is a fresh food... shouldn't it taste like one?

Your order date is within days of your roast date. That's coffee the way it is meant to be enjoyed!
