Every morning, you start your day with a cup of coffee. It wakes you up, helps you get through your workday, and brings you together after a long day. But before the aroma of coffee fills the air, this bean has been on a very long journey.
It has traveled between countries, passed through many hands, and gone through precise stages to reach you in the cup you know. At Soliman, we believe that when you know the story of coffee, you can enjoy it even more.
The Journey Begins
Exceptional coffee doesn't happen by chance. That's why we select Arabica beans from high-altitude regions in Brazil and Ethiopia, where rich soil and climate help the coffee beans ripen slowly, developing a deeper and clearer flavor.
Purification First
After the coffee is harvested and processed, it arrives at our factories as green beans. This is where the real selection process begins. Every shipment is meticulously inspected, not just by machines but also with our senses and expertise.
Machines can measure density and moisture, but the true quality of coffee must be tasted. And because our name is on every package,
we carefully select each bean before any product reaches our customers.Ahmed Soliman, Roasting Expert
How to Determine the Quality of Green Coffee from the First Shipment
Hear from Soliman's Head Coffee Roaster about the most important details he looks for when testing a new shipment of green coffee beans.
Roasting
Before roasting, coffee beans have a more natural, earthy smell, and not yet the familiar coffee aroma. Roasting is the stage that brings out the true flavor from the bean, requiring a delicate balance of heat and time.
During the roasting process, we monitor its most important stages:
Drying stage: when the beans begin to change color from green to light yellow
First crack: the moment the beans begin to expand and flavors emerge
Development stage: the most crucial stage, determining the roast level and final coffee flavor
The Final Cup
Ultimately, the cup in your hand goes through this entire journey from the farms, to shipping, to purification, to roasting, to the first moment you tasted it. When you prepare a cup of coffee from Soliman, you are tasting a complete journey meticulously crafted to bring you the quality and flavor you love.
