This coffee features special yellow beans from the Fazenda Rainha Farm in Brazil. The yellow bourbon variety originates from Bourbon Island, now called Réunion, located next to Madagascar. Unlike most coffee cherries which are red, these beans are yellow, making them a specialty product.
Cenk Erlevent founded this independent specialty coffee roastery in 2021, bringing his creative background from the photography and film industry to the art of coffee roasting. His multicultural experience across six different cultures infuses each roast with what he describes as "a little bit of Turkish Spice, French Love, Spanish Salsa, Italian Espresso and Swiss Perfectionism." Bean in Progress operates on the philosophy of "go for progress, not perfection," acknowledging that while the best coffee doesn't exist, their beans are always evolving through sustainable sourcing from selected farms in Brazil, Costa Rica, and Rwanda, combined with transparent product declarations that create balance between farmers and customers.
