Where Did The Name Botticelli Come From?
Founders Joseph and Salvatore Asaro wanted to pay tribute to the art of their ancestors livelihood, food, and their time-tested recipes. When it came to thinking of a name for their new brand, Joseph thought of names in history that had also lasted the test of time. Famed Artist Sandro Botticelli came to mind.

How Fast Do Your Roasted Beans Get Ground and Bagged?
The process happens within seconds. Unlike traditional coffee grinding processes which typically take longer, once our coffee beans are ready to be processed, they get added to our specialty machines which grind, bag, and seal within seconds preventing oxidation from occurring.
How Should Coffee Be Stored For Freshness?
We recommend an air-tight container to prevent oxidation which would inevitably alter the flavor and aroma of the coffee and no one wants that.
What Does The Roast Level Of Coffee Have To Do With The Caffeine Level?
The lighter the roast, like our Morning Blend, the more caffeine is preserved within the bean leading to a higher caffeine level.
The darker the roast, like our Evening Blend, the more time spent roasting which caramelizes the beans chemical makeup removing a lot of it's caffeine. That's why our Evening Blend is considered a Half-Caf, perfect for those looking to stay away from the caffeine jitters.
Which Botticelli Coffee Has The Boldest Flavor?
Of course this is based on personal preference but if we had to pick one, our Espresso is pure, BOLD, Italian flavor. Check out our Espresso HERE.
Can You Store Your Coffee In The Freezer?
You can — but we don’t recommend it for everyday coffee storage. Frequent temperature changes can introduce moisture and affect the flavor and freshness of the coffee over time.
For the best tasting cup, store your coffee in an airtight container in a cool, dry place away from heat, light, and humidity. If you do freeze coffee for long-term storage, keep it tightly sealed and only thaw what you plan to use. Fresh Botticelli Coffee deserves better than freezer burn.
Is Botticelli Organic Coffee Ethically Sourced?
Yes, we take pride in ensuring all our beans are sourced ethically.
What's A Master Roaster?
