We adore Upgraded Coffee. This coffee makes you feel noticeably better than anything else you’ll find. These beans are meant for drinking black or best of all, for making Bulletproof Coffee with coconut oil. Upgraded coffee beans are harvested from a single family-owned estate in Guatemala located 1250 meters above sea level, high enough to produce great coffee.
The estate is Passive Organic and the family that owns it does not allow chemicals (herbicides, pesticides, etc.) It is not economical for Central American boutique coffee estates to become certified organic. They are hand picked by experienced coffee harvesters — skilled people who know how to pick only perfectly ripe berries. Most coffee beans are processed by either leaving them in the sun and elements to wither and dry, or by pressing them and letting them ferment (spoil) to remove the outer layer of the bean. The beans are roasted in small batches by the #1 ranked roaster in United States under the strictest conditions. Upgraded Coffee beans are cultivated by a grower who is Rainforest Alliance certified to be sustainable.
