Our Upheld Values

The values we uphold at General Warfield’s Coffee are the cornerstone of our identity. Every aspect of our coffee crafting process is infused with purpose and intentionality. Here's why our coffee is more than just a beverage; it's a testament to good health, exceptional taste, immersive experience, and community support. 

Specialty Grade Beans

Sourcing Only the Finest Specialty Grade Beans: At General Warfield's Coffee, our commitment to health begins from the ground up—literally. We exclusively source the finest Arabica beans from high-altitude, specialty-grade farms. This ensures that every cup of our coffee is not just rich in flavor but also packed with antioxidants and other potentially beneficial compounds. We take great care from cultivation to roasting to preserve these healthful properties, offering a coffee experience that delights the taste buds and may contribute positively to your well-being.

Our Process Aims to Maximize Antioxidants and Beneficial Compounds for Great-Tasting Coffee & Potential Health Benefits

Great-Tasting Coffee without Sacrificing Health: All our coffee is nurtured at high altitudes, from 3,000 to over 6,000 feet above sea level. In these elevated realms, coffee farming evolves into an intriguing blend of nature and science. The unique conditions at these heights—cooler temperatures, more intense ultraviolet radiation, and reduced oxygen levels—stress the coffee plants in beneficial ways. The result is a brew that's not just incredibly flavorful but also rich in antioxidants, offering potential health benefits such as improved heart health and cognitive function. This distinctive environment plays a crucial role in the development of the coffee cherries, guiding our precise approach to handling, processing, storage, and roasting.

Once harvested, our meticulous processing journey begins, aimed at preserving the beans' antioxidant content. This process involves precise cultivation practices, including handpicking cherries and ensuring they're processed and stored carefully. We maintain our beans at roughly 11% moisture content until roasting. At this stage, the delicate balance between temperature and time is expertly managed. Our goal is to unlock the coffee's full antioxidant potential while enhancing its rich and nuanced flavor profile.

But our commitment to preserving the coffee's quality doesn't stop there. We use nitrogen flushing for our pouches to help preserve the antioxidants. This technique keeps them locked in until the moment the coffee meets hot water. The result? A remarkable and delicious cup of coffee, brimming with potential health benefits.

However, the story doesn’t end with the coffee's journey from farm to cup. The exceptional taste and the abundance of antioxidants are also a testament to the sustainable farming practices of the cooperatives we partner with. These cooperatives focus on environmental conservation and community well-being. By cultivating coffee beans in harmony with nature, they ensure a minimal environmental impact. This approach nurtures the plant's natural defense mechanisms, allowing the coffee cherries to grow robust and full of antioxidants.

This process showcases that enjoying the finest flavors can go hand-in-hand with promoting a healthier, more sustainable world.

By partnering with coffee cooperatives that prioritize environmental and social responsibility, we not only ensure the highest quality beans but also support the livelihoods of local farmers and coffee-producing communities.
