FAQs
IS THE COFFEE FRESHLY ROASTED?
The short answer is YES! We work closely with our roasting partners to ensure the coffee reaches you as quickly as possible after its roasting date. This is usually within 3-4 days, so we can guarantee it will smell and taste great. Specialty coffee should be left to settle for 6-10 days before drinking.
WHAT DOES THE COFFEE TASTE LIKE?
Each month we feature two new coffees from two different roasters. We really try to ensure that we take you on a journey of discovery with different origins that are in season with interesting and exciting flavour notes. The coffees are generally medium to medium dark roasted and bold, balanced, smooth. We try to include a variety of tasting notes for you to enjoy. See our previous partners here. All coffee is exceptionally high quality and tastes tested by RISE (we have regular cupping sessions, a head roaster who gives his approval, a taste test panel of subscribers and Ben and Alice give the final go ahead!)
All coffees are great for filter or espresso (omni roasted) and work in your V60, cafetiere, chemex, espresso machine and more!
WHAT TYPE OF COFFEE IS INCLUDED?
Every month we feature two different coffees from two different roasters. The coffee is usually a mix of medium to medium dark coffee and suitable for espresso based drinks as well as filter. All coffee is 'omni roasted' which means it has been roasted to suit both methods. Ben is a filter coffee drinker and Alice is an espresso drinker, so we both give our approval that it works before it goes into the RISE box!
IS THE RISE PACKAGING SUSTAINABLE?
Your coffee will come in its original packaging from our coffee partners. At RISE coffee box we are all about showcasing our roasting partners, their stories and the beans they roast. This also means we don’t re-bag the coffee, keeping it fresh and allowing us to be more sustainable with our packaging. Our RISE box is made from reused materials and is recyclable.
HOW QUICKLY WILL I RECEIVE MY ORDER?
We aim for all deliveries to be received within 3-5 working days however we generally ship same day or next with a 48 hour courier. This can be slightly longer around busy festive seasons or bank holidays.
WILL I RECEIVE WHOLE BEAN OR GROUND COFFEE?
Whatever you like! You can order whole bean coffee or ground coffee from us. We recommend ordering whole beans as this maintains the freshness of the beans and flavour. If you don’t have a grinder, select ‘ground’ and we’ll send it ready for you to use in your cafetiere or plunger. Check out our blog post on which option is best to order for you.
WHAT IS THE RISE FRIENDLY COFFEE FUND?
Alice and Ben have set up the Friendly Coffee Fund to give back 1% of all sales to help eradicate child labour in coffee farming communities. Our first project is in Uganda where so far we have enrolled children in nearly 3000 days of school!
