FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
ABOUT OUR COFFEE
Yes. All Stitch Coffee products have been carefully curated to ensure quality and supply chain integrity.
We roast weekly on Tuesdays and do our best to ship and package our coffee bags within 2–7 days of roasting. This is something that will vary upon regions that require a longer shipping time or for international orders.
Please note that even with a longer lead time, your coffee will retain flavour and freshness given our recommended rest times for degassing coffee (see next FAQ below).
At Stitch Coffee, we recommend allowing your coffee beans to age for a minimum of 1 week from the roast date (always displayed on your coffee bag) or for 2–3 weeks for optimal flavour.
We recommend storing your coffee in an airtight container, away from direct sunlight. This will ensure moisture and air don’t age the coffee too quickly and your coffee retains its flavour and quality for longer.
We roast our blends and single origins in different ways to ensure you get the most out of each cup.
Higgs Field Blend – Medium roast
Black Field Blend – Medium-Dark roast
Hobnob Blend – Medium-Dark roast
Dark Field Blend – Dark roast
We recommend our blends to be served with Milk or as a full-body black coffee.
Our single origins are roasted lighter, in an omni style. This is to highlight the flavours of the coffee best and allow for them to be used for either filter or espresso brew methods.
