Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ'S)

1. What makes The Little Roast different from other coffee brands?
Every roast we create is inspired by a real destination. From Caribbean islands to London alleyways, each cup offers a taste of culture, story, and craft. Plus, we give back from every purchase, quietly, transparently, and without extra donation prompts.

2. How long does your coffee stay fresh?
Our coffee is roasted in small batches to ensure maximum freshness. For best results, consume within 3–4 weeks of opening. Each bag is resealable and shipped in compostable, aroma-locking packaging.

3. What’s inside a standard order?
You’ll receive a 12oz compostable bag of single-origin, ethically sourced Arabica coffee, a collectible destination stamp card, and the origin story of your roast. Occasionally, we include playlist QR codes, quote cards, and surprises too!

4. Can I subscribe and still choose my roast?
Yes! Our Solo Explorer tier lets you select your roast monthly. Higher tiers like Global Taster rotate fresh destinations, but you’ll get early access, bonuses, and seasonal exclusives too.

5. What is the “Collect & Earn” system?
Each bag includes a passport stamp. When you collect and share 5 stamps, you earn a free bag. Collect the full destination cycle and unlock 6 months free coffee + social media perks. Just tag us using #LittleRoastPassport.

6. Do you offer decaf options?
Absolutely. Our Calm Coast Decaf is Swiss Water processed and smooth, with none of the harshness of traditional decaf. It's roasted with the same love and story-first design as our full-caf lineup.

7. Do you ship internationally?

Always. Our packaging is 100% plastic-free and compostable. Our beans are fair-wage, ethically sourced, and we partner with roasters who share our commitment to the planet and people.

10. How do your monthly microgrants work?
A portion of each sale funds monthly microgrants to small nonprofits and local changemakersboth in coffee-growing regions and customer communities. We share updates via our email newsletter and Instagram.
