What is Third Wave Coffee?
The "third wave of coffee" is all about making coffee really special. Think of it like a journey to find the best coffee.
Focus on Quality
Companies like Ritual Coffee care a lot about where their coffee comes from. They often buy beans directly from farmers. This helps make sure the beans are grown in a good way. It also helps farmers get a fair price for their hard work.
Roasting and Brewing
After getting the best beans, Ritual Coffee roasts them carefully. Roasting means heating the beans to bring out their best flavors. Then, in their cafes, they brew the coffee with great care. They want every cup to taste amazing.
A Special Experience
For many, drinking coffee from a "third wave" cafe is an experience. It's not just about getting a quick drink. It's about enjoying the unique flavors and learning about coffee. These cafes often have a cozy and welcoming feel.
Ritual Coffee's Journey
Ritual Coffee Roasters was started by Eileen Hassi Rinaldi in 2005. Her goal was to bring high-quality coffee to people. She wanted to show how good coffee could really be.
From Beans to Brew
Ritual Coffee buys green coffee beans from different farms. These farms are often in places like Central and South America. They also get beans from Africa. Each type of bean has its own special taste.
Once the beans arrive, Ritual Coffee roasts them. They have special machines for this. The roasting process is very important. It helps to unlock all the delicious flavors hidden inside the beans.
Serving the Community
Ritual Coffee has cafes where people can enjoy their coffee. These cafes are places where friends can meet. They are also spots where people can relax or study. By 2019, they had six locations.
