The Journey of the Bean: Roasting Secrets

Have you ever wondered what makes the Backyard Coffee 254 menu taste so incredibly distinct? It all comes down to the roast. Step inside our roastery and discover how we turn raw, green seeds into the aromatic brown beans you know and love.

Sourcing the Best 254 Coffee

Kenya is famous globally for producing some of the world's most vibrant and complex coffees. We work directly with local farmers to select lots that feature those signature blackcurrant and bright citrus notes.

The Roasting Curve

Roasting is a delicate balance of time and temperature. We meticulously track our "roast curves" to ensure that we highlight the bean's natural sweetness without burning off its delicate floral aromas. The result is a smooth, balanced cup every single time.
