Weigh the green coffee
Green coffee is the raw bean, before any heat. It smells more like grass than coffee. We weigh out each batch before the roaster warms up.

02 · Our story
Saltbox exists for one reason: coffee should taste like it was roasted this week, because it was.
Beans from the store can sit on a shelf for a long time before you open them. By then the sweet, bright flavours have faded, and the cup tastes old and flat.
So we built our whole week around freshness. We roast on Monday. We ship on Tuesday. And every bag carries its roast date and the farm it came from, so you never have to guess.
03 · The Monday roast
Monday is roast day. Here’s what happens between a sack of raw coffee and the bag on your counter, in plain words.
Green coffee is the raw bean, before any heat. It smells more like grass than coffee. We weigh out each batch before the roaster warms up.
The beans tumble in a hot iron drum. Slowly they turn from green to gold to brown, and the flavour starts to build.
First crack is a pop, a bit like popcorn. It’s the sound of beans opening up in the heat, and it tells us the roast is nearly done.
When the roast is right, the beans pour into the cooling tray. Cooling them fast stops the roast exactly where we want it.
Each bag gets its roast date and the name of its farm. That’s our promise, written down where you can see it.
On Tuesday, the bags ship across the US. Roasted Monday, shipped Tuesday, so your beans reach you fresh.

Turn a Saltbox bag over and you’ll find two things a lot of coffee won’t tell you.
The day your beans came out of the roaster. Coffee tastes brighter and sweeter when it’s fresh, and the date shows you exactly how fresh yours is. No guessing.
Where your coffee was grown. Coffee is a crop, like grapes or apples, and the place it grows shapes how it tastes in your cup.
