Why Arabica Coffee?	Is Fresh Really Better?
We offer only 100% ARABICA coffee beans. Why? Because Arabica beans are of a higher quality. They have fewer yields, and they are grown at higher altitudes than Robusta beans. Therefore producing a much finer, more pronounced taste and aroma without any harsh, bitter, medicine flavors. We 'cup' many different Arabica coffee beans from around the world in order to choose what we believe are some of the best. You will really appreciate all the time and effort put into each and every cup.	Green coffee can remained stored for up to 2 years. However, after coffee has been roasted, it begins losing its flavor and aromatics within 24 hours. Coffee can lose as much of 50% of its flavor after three weeks. Ground up coffee can lose its flavor even more quickly than whole bean. That is why Sontag's recommends ordering whole bean coffee, and grinding them just before you brew them. We challenge you to try a cup of Sontag's coffee, and see the difference!

Coffee is the world’s second most traded commodity.  It ranks second to only crude oil. 4 out of 5 Americans drink coffee, consuming more than 400 million cups a day.

Coffee beans crack and expand during the roasting process. During roasting, a coffee bean will expand to nearly double its size. The beans release gases and make a crackling noise as they roast. During the roasting process the beans also lose moisture, making them about 20% lighter than when you started. Coffee beans are coated with a paper like membrane, called chaff, which falls off during roasting.

Storage methods for whole bean and ground coffee. Coffee should be stored in an airtight container or canister that is opaque. If you plan to store it for longer than three weeks, then you can put it in the freezer. Coffee’s worst enemies are air, light, and moisture.
