Process
From International to Local
Houston Proud.
The journey began four generations ago, tracing back to the 1920's Spain, when the coffee empire was founded by Carlos de Aldecoa Fernandez, Juan Carlos Martinez de Aldecoa's great grandfather.. Aldecoa-Fernandez later expanded operations to the fertile lands of Veracruz, Mexico, where the business grew to include coffee farms, roasting, retailing and decaffeination. The family empire continues to operate and distribute from the world-class facilities located in East Downtown Houston.
Despite branching off from the family's operations, Martinez de Aldecoa's own process begins the same: with sourcing the finest Arabica Beans. Using the families skill and knowledge in the field, the meticulous selection process sources the finest beans from renowned coffee regions worldwide. We prioritize sustainability and ethical sourcing practices to ensure that each bean meets our quality standards and contributes to a positive impact on coffee-growing communities.
We proudly continue the journey in our hometown of Houston, crafting the perfect blend at our partner facilities East Downtown. With a deep understanding of coffee profiles and flavor profiles, our expert roasters carefully craft a blend that embodies richness, complexity, and a distinctive character. Each batch is meticulously roasted to enhance the beans' natural flavors, creating a foundation for either an exceptional cold brew experience or whole bean moment.
When making our cold brew concentrate, the freshly roasted beans undergo precision grinding, where they are ground to the ideal consistency for cold brewing. This step is crucial in extracting the optimal flavors and aromas while maintaining a smooth and balanced taste profile. The ground Arabica beans then undergo a patented process, which includes gently steeping the roasted coffee for 12-24 hours in triple filtered water to ensure only the purest quality! This results in a smooth, low-acid concentrate with a naturally sweet finish. Our state-of-the-art facilities and advanced techniques enable us to maintain consistency and quality throughout the concentration process. The final concentrate is packaged in convenient, airtight containers to preserve freshness and flavor.
Quality or Nothing.
Turning the ordinary, into extraordinary.
From a simple bean, to a high-grade product, our commitment to quality extends to rigorous quality assurance protocols. Each batch of cold brew concentrate undergoes comprehensive testing and analysis to ensure adherence to our strict quality standards. From flavor profiles to shelf stability, every aspect is meticulously evaluated to deliver a superior product.
