mnav

mnav is our fruit forward, light roasted blend consisting of rotating micro-lots. like saylor's definition of mnav, this blend will change frequently in order to work with the seasonality of coffee and to maintain the freshest crops for components. coffee is an agricultural crop, after all. we'll try to keep the components and their weight updated on the website, but you can always contact us in case you're skeptical. just recognize that it won't taste exactly the same in a few months, just like the kpi calculations on your favorite btc treasury company's dashboard. 

blend components

• 35% ethiopia / guji / daye bensa / natural (15-18 days drying) / g2 heirloom

roasting info

• we roast this pre-roast blend to about a 13.7% moisture loss in around 9:55, dropping at 398.7 °f
• we're on an old school 60 kg drum roaster at the moment, but we're stepping into the 21st century with convection (not a loring) in the near future
• first crack around 7:57
• 19.8% development / ~1:58 development time
• agtron color reading - 65 whole bean, 85 ground (ground on ek43 at 3.5 "old dial")
• for industry folks, we cup the blend's individual components in the 84.25 - 85.75 sca range

cost transparency

• the weighted cost of this blend is around $5.60 for the green coffee, fob. Add on another dollar or so in logistics (freight + importer fees) getting this imported from origin countries to our stateside partner warehouses
• then another $0.20 or so for the final leg to our facility (and perhaps even $0.15 in storage if the coffee isn't pulled to our headquarters in a timely fashion
• tack on another $1.50 for production - rent, gas, electricity, roasting labor, and production labor
• let's call it about $8.50 per lb
• packaging/label adds another $1.50
• part of the green cost is the organic certification, typically >$0.25/lb premium going to the farmers
  

bag size:

• 14.583 troy oz, 454 g, 1 lb (pick the uom that most satisfies you)
• we won't engage in shrinkflation, so the bag and its contents won't be getting smaller as coffee, logistics, labor, and packaging costs continue to rise
