**What Does It Take to Be "The World's Best Tasting Coffee®"? The Story Behind Our Trademark** 

When you see "The World's Best Tasting Coffee®" on our bags, it's not just a confident slogan—it's a registered trademark and a promise we've upheld since 1993. But what does it actually mean? What standards must we meet to not only claim that title but to make it our own? This is the story behind our craft and the answer to every coffee lover who has asked, "What truly makes a coffee the 'world's best'?"

**The Answer Starts with the Beans: Sourcing the Top 1%** 

The journey to the world's best coffee begins long before the roast. It starts on farms across the globe where altitude, soil, and climate conspire to create something special. We source our beans in person, building relationships and walking the fields to find the absolute pinnacle of the harvest. 

Less than 1% of the world's specialty-grade coffee beans meet our exacting standards. Whether it's the legendary terroir of the Jamaica Blue Mountains, the volcanic soil of Hawaiian Kona, or the unique profiles of a single-origin microlot, we select only the most exceptional beans. 

**The Forgotten Art of Fire Roasting: Our 100-Year-Old Secret** 

In a world of automated, high-volume roasting, we practice a nearly lost art. Our master roasters use a proprietary, 100-year-old technique with roasting equipment from the turn of the century. This isn't about nostalgia; it's about a superior result that modern machines cannot replicate. 

Our artisanal masters roast by hand and by eye, listening for the "crack" of the beans and observing the subtle changes in colour. This hands-on, traditional process allows for an unmatched depth of flavour, eliminating the bitterness often found in mass-produced coffee and unlocking a smooth, rich, and aromatic profile. 

**Freshness You Can Measure: Roasted-to-Order, Every Time** 

Even the best beans in the world, roasted with perfect technique, will lose their magic if they sit on a shelf. Our promise is simple: **your coffee is roasted the day it ships.**When you place an order, our roasters get to work. We don't pre-roast or stockpile. This commitment to "just-in-time" roasting ensures that when you open your bag of Gold Star Coffee, the aroma and flavour are at their absolute peak. You're not just tasting the quality of the bean; you're experiencing the vibrancy of a fresh roast. 

**The Ultimate Verdict: Confirmed by Thousands of Coffee Lovers** 

While we have dedicated our lives to perfecting our sourcing and roasting, the final judges of our coffee are the people who drink it every day. The title of "World's Best Tasting Coffee®" is a promise we make, and it's a promise that is validated daily by a passionate community of coffee lovers. 

Across platforms like **Google, Yotpo, eBay, Amazon, Facebook, and Yelp**, we are humbled to have received **thousands of 5-star reviews**. These aren't just ratings; they are stories from customers who have discovered a smoother, richer, and more flavourful coffee experience. From the aficionado who has tried everything to the person simply looking for a better morning cup, the consensus is clear and reinforces what we strive for with every roast. 

**More Than a Trademark, It's Our Identity** 

Securing the registered trademark for "World's Best Tasting Coffee®" was a milestone for us. It legally recognizes the unique space we occupy in the coffee world. It holds us accountable to the promise we make with every single bag.
