That’s why the coffee buyers at Global Grounds travel the world to seek out the finest 100 Arabica coffee beans from the premier growing regions around the globe. The beans are then skillfully blended and roasted to bring out their unique flavor profile. All of the coffees are roasted in a patented convection roasting system. Unlike traditional drum-roasting methods that can sometimes burn beans or leave the under-roasted, the convection process roasts each bean on a bed of hot air, unlocking the smooth and rich flavor.
