WHAT ROAST LEVEL IS YOUR COFFEE?

Wealtha Avenue is a medium roast. 

That being said, as we grow our coffee offerings we may begin to explore different roast levels. As you may know, coffee has the potential for complex flavor that can be manifested utilizing the alchemy of roasting. Our goal is to roast you the most delicious coffee we can without being tethered to a specific roast level.

We will include roast level information in the description of each coffee offering.

HOW SHOULD I STORE MY COFFEE?

We suggest storing your box of coffee in a cool, dry and dark place. A pantry cabinet works perfectly. Or you can transfer your coffee into a plastic free container, like a glass jar or a metal tin.

Worth noting: be mindful of where you place your box. Because the box has no plastic barrier, if placed on a small spill on your countertop, the moisture can permeate the box. Not-one-worry if this occurs, just simply transfer the beans to another receptacle and you will be good to go. 

HOW LONG DOES YOUR COFFEE STAY FRESH?

If kept in the cardboard box and stored in a cool, dry and dark place, your coffee will remain fresh for up to 14 days after receiving. If you store your coffee in a plastic free container, like a glass jar or metal tin, your beans will maintain their optimal freshness and deliciousness for up to 30 days.

WHEN DO YOU ROAST YOUR COFFEE?

Every Sunday, and ship to order.

By the time you receive your coffee, the beans will be aged perfectly and ready to brew.

WHERE DO YOU ROAST YOUR COFFEE?

Strange Bird Coffee is proudly roasted in Oakland, California USA 🇺🇸

DO YOU OFFER GROUND COFFEE?

We do not currently offer ground coffee because we could not find a sustainable plastic free packaging. That being said, we are optimistic and will continue our search. 

If you have any suggestions or recommendations on bag manufacturers or plastic free packaging solutions, please contact us and let us know.

DO YOU OFFER DECAF?

We do not currently offer a decaf coffee, but plan to offer one in the future.

If you are a decaf drinker, we want to hear from you! Contact us and let us know what you love about decaf and what sort of origins and flavor profiles you prefer. We will take all of your feedback into consideration when the time comes to source a delicious decaf coffee.
