GREAT COFFEES ARE THOSE POSSESSING FLAVOURS THAT COMBINE TO EXPRESS A CLEAR CHARACTER AND PRESENCE. WHEN YOU SIP A FINE JAMAICA BLUE MOUNTAIN OR KENYA AA OR KONA THE NUANCE IN EACH ARE IMMEDIATELY APPARENT IN THE AROMA. WHEN SELECTED CORRECTLY THE TASTE EXPERIENCE OF EACH OF THESE COFFEES ARE AS UNIQUE AS THEIR ORIGIN.

OUR GRAND CRUS ARE RIGOROUSLY JURIED THROUGH CUPPING TO IDENTIFY EXCEPTIONAL CHARACTER INDICATIVE OF TRADITIONAL COFFEES FROM EACH REGION. THROUGH PRELIMINARY CUPPINGS WE WORK TO IDENTIFY THE FINEST COFFEES AT THEIR PEAK OF FLAVOUR. FINALISTS FOR PURCHASE ARE THEN DELIVERED TO EACH OF OUR SEVEN MEMBER CUPPING BOARD FOR BLIND EVALUATION OF EACH LOT.

OUR BOARD MEMBERS ARE CUPPING WITH ONE GOAL IN MIND, “IDENTIFY THE THAT IS EXCEPTIONAL IN BODY, FLAVOR, AND AROMA.” THE BOARD’S REVIEWS ARE TALLIED IN ORDER TO IDENTIFY A FINALIST LOT. SAMPLES OF THAT COFFEE ARE DELIVERED TO OUR ROAST MASTER WITH A REQUEST TO PREPARE A TEST BATCH ROASTED TO EVOKE THE AUTHENTIC POWERFUL CHARACTER AND FLAVOUR OF COFFEES FROM THIS ORIGIN. THE THREE DAUPHIN KAFFEE FOUNDERS CONDUCT FINAL EVALUATION AND SELECTION IN A PRIVATE CUPPING.
