Our Selection Process
Ma Te Coffee ( まてコーヒー ) samples roasted coffee beans from all over Japan. Visiting Kyoto, Tokyo, Osaka, Kyushu, and Hokkaido. Samples are graded and judged according to flavor profile and consistency from brew to brew. Product is selected and imported directly into the US from all over the world, as long as the cultivator & roaster continue to met the expectations of our connoisseurs and customers
Relationships with cultivators & roasters are personally selected through meeting the cultivator and/or roaster in person. We learn having about how they prepare their product. They share their roasting process and what goes into their process and we identify if the partnership is a good fit for our brand. We include these qualifying details in the package shipped to your home or office
Espresso and/or Coffee Beans are packaged shortly after being roasted and then shipped within hours or days. Allowing the off-gas process to occur while in transit to your office or home. The bags we pack the beans in are designed to only keep air out and not in, which keeps the beans from taking on additional flavors. It is recommended you transfer the beans to a storage vessel shortly after arrival; made of food safe plastic or glass
