Astrora Coffee is an independent new business. The company (Astrora Limited) was established in April 2008. It offers a unique service to the Teddington community and surrounding areas so local residents can enjoy the distinct flavours of single-origin, freshly roasted coffees at home. The guiding principle of the business is to provide a special selection of the best coffee beans available, roasted in the shop to the highest standard.
Coffee contains hundreds of aromatic and other compounds. Many of the compounds start forming aroma at a specific time and temperature during the roasting process. The flavour of each coffee type is different and is a reflection of various characteristics of the origin, including the variety, the climate and soil type of the farm.
The roasting process varies according to each coffee type and should be carried out carefully. The timing is particularly important as even a change of ten seconds can make a huge difference to the flavour.
If you are lucky, you might arrive in the shop while coffee is being roasted. It will be a unique and interesting experience to observe green coffee beans turning in the drum of the classic machine, changing to yellow, then cinnamon and finally the beautiful brown roasted coffee being dumped into the cooler giving out complex and delightful aroma.
