How To Choose The Best Coffee For You

Check out Tracy from For Five’s tips on how to choose the best coffee for you.

When checking out our retail For Five coffee bags, pay attention to the following!

1. Color: The green bags represent our single origins, and all other colors represent our blends.
2. Origin: Says where the beans are sourced from, which gives you an idea of the flavor and roast of the beans.
3. Roast Scale: This is a 1-5 scale that defines how light/medium/dark the beans are. 1 is the lightest roast, while 5 is the darkest roast.
4. Notes: Gives you insight on the flavors you’ll be tasting when the coffee is in your hand and ready to drink!
