Roasting coffee : a real skill!

As coffee-merchants, specialists at roasting coffee, we prepare ourselves the green beans that we have selected among the best in the world. Through delicate operations and thanks to our know-how, we bring together all the qualities that you except from a cup of coffee.

We give in it its flavour by roasting the green coffee beans: it means that they are heated in machines called roasters, whose temperature is raised gradually while being stirred constantly, under the close watch of our expert. When the temperature rises above 100°C the beans turn yellow, and then light brown the temperature reaches 150°C... It is only around 230°C that the beans are really roasted and release their aroma.

This extremely delicate operation, which guarantees the perfect taste of coffee, requires constant attention from the man in charge: it is thanks to his skill and his familiar sense of smell of the changes of aroma that released by roasted coffee that he will manage to turn green coffee into those brown, flavoured beans.

Nowadays very few coffee-merchants still roast their coffee "at home" contrary to what was usual before the war.

That's why Torrefaction Noailles can propose some 12 varieties of coffee, in beans or ground, depending on the machine or pot you intend to use.
