Your cup of Lifeboost Premium Healthy Medium Roast Coffee comes from coffee beans that have been individually hand selected as the premium bean(s) of a harvest. Your coffee beans are lovingly cultivated by local farmers, after being grown slowly to full maturity in mountain shade. Your beans are hand-picked one at a time to provide the highest in Gourmet blends, and then fermented for 26 hours so the skin can be carefully removed without damaging the seed. No pesticides are ever used.
