DATA BANK

How it was made, in numbers

The axis of coffee evaluation is shifting from where it was grown to how it was made. We measure and record pH, Brix, moisture, water activity and drying days on every lot. Partner farms measure by the same procedure, aligning quality standards across borders. This is not a system that denies the senses — it makes them reproducible.

“We grow only as fast as the Data Bank can capture the quality of every single lot.”

FIVE NUMBERS

The five measurements
pH
Fermentation control
Objective tracking of fermentation — catching over-fermentation before off-flavors form.
What this number means →
Brix
Sugar & pick timing
Ripeness judged in numbers. Essential for species whose color cannot be trusted.
What this number means →
Moisture
End of drying
The criterion for finished drying — directly tied to roast repeatability.
What this number means →
Water activity
Storage stability
An index of mold and aging risk. Proof the lot survives storage and transport.
What this number means →
Drying days
Process record
The drying-curve log. The basis for comparing lots and improving.
What this number means →

EUDR ERA

Records as a regulatory asset

In the era of the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR), coffee requires farm-level traceability. Ten years of speaking in numbers about how our coffee is made becomes, as it is, an asset for compliance.

Measurement has three values: quality control, sales support, and reproducibility. Roasters receive the measured values of each lot as a bilingual spec sheet.
