We start with selecting the finest coffee beans from Flores, an Indonesian Island, renowned for their coffee beans . Our team of experts ensures that only the highest quality beans with exceptional taste profiles are chosen.
The selected coffee beans are referred to as “green coffee beans” because they have not undergone the roasting process yet. These green beans possess their unique characteristics, ready to be transformed into the perfect cup of coffee.
Our coffee uses a blend of robusta and arabica beans. The coffee beans to make Sundrop Coffee drinks are roasted to perfection using our in-house automatic roasting machine.
We use state of the art technology to roast our coffee beans (refer below for our own roaster). Our roaster is a custom made machine, built for reaching the right temperatures and time for that standard roasting profile we know will highlight the best aroma and flavour.
First crack is when the moisture is driven from the beans.
Second crack is when the flavor develops and bursts out from the beans.
Light, medium or dark roasts depends on the time the temperature is maintained after the second crack of the coffee beans.
Refer to the graph below.
Using this color track we can determine the best color we want on our coffee bean. Color determines the roast on the coffee bean and also the flavor that comes from that roast.
Sundrop uses medium roasted coffee beans to make our coffee drinks. We determine that using this roast, would be the best flavor that we can derive from our coffee beans.
From early 1990s, Sundrop has been developing ready to drink coffee in a can. It started wIth our team going over to San Francisco to learn the art of roasting coffee and bringing the knowledge back. We have been roasting coffee beans for over 30 years with the goal of striving for the perfect cup of coffee.
All the canned drinks are made with fresh roasted coffee beans brewed inside our factory. We have developed two flavours of coffee drinks, milk coffee and black coffee. We have these drinks in production since the 1990s and have not been phased out because of it’s popularity.
By adhering to these careful steps and embracing the art of roasting, Sundrop ensures that every cup of our coffee delivers a delightful and memorable experience to coffee enthusiasts around the world. We believe that great coffee starts with attention to detail and ends with the joy of savoring the perfect cup. Enjoy the Sundrop difference in every sip!
