Restoration Roasters Information

Restoration Roasters is dedicated to both our customer, and our coffee quality. Hi, my name is Blake Ryan. I'm a volunteer of the Corona Norco Rescue Mission and we have the unique opportunity to help restore the lives of the homeless in our own community. When we think about the homeless, certain images and assumptions come to mind about who they are, how they got there, and what they look like. But when we are able to look beyond these labels, we see that each one has a name and a unique story. Our goal is to make visible what society has made invisible by placing a name with the face, by giving their story a platform, and by participating in their restoration. About a year ago I had the opportunity to tour a friend's coffee roasting facility. I loved the passion that he had when talking about coffee beans. It's incredible when you think about it-the journey of the coffee bean from the farms located around the world to the table in your local coffee shop. But one detail from that journey stood out to me above the rest-the expertise and meticulous care that goes into picking the coffee cherries that contain the coffee beans. Each cherry is handpicked based on its ripeness, but that's just the beginning. It's not until the bean has been extracted and gone through the refining fire that we get the aroma and flavor we enjoy.
