The Bolt Action Coffee PRocess

Procurement

We work closely with our world-renowned roasting partner and each vendor in the supply chain to ensure that we can offer the most expressive and flavourful coffee.  Our partners curate important relationships required up and down the supply chain to ensure the subtle nuances of specialty coffee are available to you through Bolt Action Coffee.

Roasting

Art of the Process.  We work exclusively with one Roasting company, Oughtred Coffee and Tea. Their team, experience, certifications, level of care and involvement in the entire process means you can have complete confidence in the quality and consistency of the World-Class coffee you should expect. 

Industry leading roasting technology and equipment provide complete control, ensuring a consistent high-caliber specialty coffee. Loring smart roasters and Cropster software handle the blending, roasting and inventory management seamlessly.

Quality Control

World Class Gear Matters. Just like in precision shooting the quality and reliability of your gear has a major effect on your results.

We take pride in the grade of coffee we provide. Specialty coffee means that the quality of the beans meets strict quality standards and unique flavor profiles. All of our coffees score 85.5 or higher on the 100 Point Coffee Review Scale placing them in the ‘Excellent’ category. Coffee that scores above 90 points is extremely rare and expensive.

Oughtred Coffee & Tea’s rigorous quality control process is involved in each step of our coffee’s journey from seed to cup. We make sure the beans meet our standards right from origin, all the way through roasting, with help from our partners, craft roasters and Cropster system.

ORder Fulfillment - Our Freshness Guarantee

Handloaded Quality & Freshness. To guarantee consistent flavour and freshness, our coffee is roasted in small batches on a weekly basis.

Here’s how it works:

Order cut off is every Monday at Noon. The coffee is roasted and packaged over the next two days, then shipped every Thursday. Shipping usually takes 2-3 days for most of Canada.

This process ensures that the volume of coffee roasted matches the number of orders. This prevents overstock and coffee ageing on the shelf.

Our coffee is cared for from harvest to shipping to ensure the maximum freshness and ideal flavor.
