Figs and Coffee?

The History:

The process of roasting figs has been around for at least 150-years. In
1873, there were at least 20 factories in Europe making roasted fig
for use as a hot beverage. During times of coffee shortages,
roasted fig has been added to coffee as a supplement to stretch the
coffee ration. Most recently, roasted fig was added to coffee in
England during the Second World War since coffee was in short supply.
After the war, everyone went straight back to coffee. We think they
made a mistake since figs are healthy and delicious.

Sustainably Grown

While figs trees grow all over the world, the Mediterranean region is where they originated and have been grown for thousands of years. Like coffee, the different varieties of figs boast different unique flavors when eaten as well as roasted. Due to this we spent a large amount of time early on identifying the best figs for our purpose.

For our figs, we settled on a Turkish mini fig that grows in the Mediterranean region. The flavor profile was perfect and the size made the production process easier in addition to allow us to help keep these less desirable figs from going to waste. The farms where they are grown and harvested are pesticide free and USDA organic.

The figs are harvested and sun dried there and then transported to our facility in the US where we roast and grind them to perfection before being packaged and ready for shipping.
