Boyd's Coffee® Introduces Tanzanian Peaberry Coffee

Available for a limited time only!

 

January 2018

 

It's a tiny coffee bean that packs mighty flavor, and it's called a peaberry. The peaberry is also well known to Tanzanian coffee growers who specialize in sorting and selling these rare little coffee gems. Boyd's Coffee was able to procure a limited quantity of these fine beans for our winter/spring coffee offering, Tanzanian Peaberry, which is available now.

 

"Commonly, coffee beans come two beans to a coffee cherry," explained Bevin Proehl, Senior Coffee Specialist at Boyd's Coffee. "However, in only about five percent of all coffees, a peaberry can form, which is a single seed inside the cherry. Peaberries may be smaller, but they have a rich sweetness and bright acidity that will make you fall in love with this coffee."

 

Boyd's Tanzanian Peaberry originates from the Rift Valley near Mt. Kilimanjaro, a region well-renowned for high-quality coffees grown on small farms, according to Randy Layton,Vice President of Coffee Operations and Boyd's Roastmaster.

 

"This 100% Arabica peaberry coffee was also grown at more than 4,000 feet (1,500 meters), qualifying it as a sought-after Strictly High Grown coffee. Slow growth at high altitude allows for complex flavor development," Randy said. "In addition, this region's peaberry coffees are offered for auction, which helps the growers get the best price possible."

 

 "It is ideal as a breakfast coffee or all-day coffee," Randy concluded. "Tanzanian Peaberry is truly a rare gemstone among coffees, and our customers and consumers alike will enjoy it."

Hot Weather Calls for Cold Brews

Check Out Boyd’s Cold Brew Coffee

 

August 2017

 

The summer’s warm weather often means fewer hot coffee purchases for convenience-store operators. However, you can give your summer coffee sales a boost thanks to a growing coffee trend: cold brew.

 

Unlike iced coffee, which is traditionally extra-strength, hot-brewed coffee kept refrigerated and poured over ice, true cold brew is steeped in cold water for 12-to-24 hours, leaving a concentrate that can be mixed with water or milk and served over ice. The result is a smooth, well-balanced, non-acidic coffee flavor. For some C-store operations, though, the long brew time and risk of running out before day’s end make cold brew an impossible choice.

 

Boyd’s Coffee has the ideal solution to this issue with our exclusive, new cold brew concentrate. This pouch-packed, shelf-stable, cold brewed product is made with the highest quality beans, which are 100% Arabica and 40% Rainforest Alliance Certified™ for sustainability. The concentrate dilutes at a five-to-one ratio (or to taste), and can be poured via a tap or dispensed from a container with ice bath. Either way, it’s delicious!

 

Once made, Boyd’s Coffee cold brew can serve as the basis for a variety of iced beverages. The resulting concentrate is very stable, lasting several days if kept refrigerated. Additionally, cold brew coffee drinks generally command a higher price point than hot coffee or traditional iced coffee.

 

Offering this beverage elevates your overall beverage center mix, and speaks to a growing consumer base for coffee: Millennials. We also can help you with recipes and merchandising for this on-trend product.

Great Coffee Doesn’t Happen By Accident

Java City Coffee is Committed to Excellence in Every Cup

 

February 2017

 

Java City Coffee’s story started in 1985 when they began hand roasting the world’s finest coffees in an old brick building in downtown Sacramento. If you haven’t noticed before, their coffees are smoother tasting than most, and that is not be accident. The beans they use are carefully roasted using authentic Italian bricklined roasters that provide radiant heat, allowing a slower, longer roast. Although their way takes longer, they wouldn’t have it any other way! Java City’s roasting process has been thought out from beginning to end.

 

Java City’s master roaster, Shawn Hamilton, has been pouring his heart into crafting each of the company’s unique roasts for over 25 years. From farm to cup, his experience and expertise contributing to creating their famously known smooth coffees. The process starts out by Shawn hand-selecting each of their sourcing partners. He ensures that the green coffee beans come from only the most distinctive and meticulously maintained coffee farms. All green coffee has a singular attribute that contribute to each flavor profile, which is why a thorough evaluation of the source is so important. They only partner with farmers who are as committed to exceptional coffee as they are.

 

Once a farm is selected, Shawn test roasts a sample of the green beans and takes them through the cupping process. He determines exactly what roast level the coffee can handle without becoming under or overdeveloped, thereby achieving the best taste and flavor balance. When the roast profile is finalized, the beans are carefully roasted using authentic Italian brick-lined roasters that provide radiant heat, allowing slower, longer roast. Slow roasting locks in the coffee’s natural flavors and aromas. After the coffee has reached its optimal roast time, it needs to be cooled down. They prefer the process of air cooling by releasing the beans into cooling trays where air moves through them to cool them down gently and naturally. Quality has always been Java City’s top priority and although air cooling is a longer process, it creates the freshest and most flavorful cup of coffee.

 

Throughout the roasting process, the company also takes care to ensure they practice responsible roasting by recycling, reusing and repurposing as much as possible. Java City donates thousands of green coffee burlap bags to their community zoo for animal bedding and to local schools for class projects. They donate their coffee chaff (the skin that comes off the coffee during the roasting process) to local farms for feed and mulch. They also donate roasted coffee to local nonprofits that focus on caring for and feeding underserved community members.

 

Java City is dedicated to offering you both better options and the best coffee you can find. Find out how you can partner with Java City Coffee by calling 888-728-3724.
