Flavored Coffee Roasted To Order

Flavored coffee is more than just a trendy product. When roasted to order, these specialty brews become an experience: fresh, aromatic, and customized to your exact preferences. At YPL Coffee, we take that experience seriously.

WHY?

Why roast to order matters?

Roasting to order means your coffee is roasted specifically when you need it — not weeks or months in advance. This has a huge impact on how your flavored coffee will taste and smell.

Freshly roasted beans:

  • Retain more natural oils that bind better with flavoring agents.
  • Provide a stronger aroma base for added extracts or infusions.
  • Ensure you’re not dealing with stale or muted flavors.


Whether you’re ordering a few kilos or tens of thousands of capsules, each batch is crafted fresh with your flavor and roast preference in mind.

What is flavored coffee?

Flavored coffee refers to coffee beans that have been infused with added flavors — typically after the roasting process. These can range from comforting classics like vanilla,caramel and hazelnut to more adventurous profiles such as coconut cream or pumpkin spice. Unlike syrups added after brewing, flavored beans deliver an integrated taste, starting from the first grind to the last sip.

Specialty coffee lovers are increasingly drawn to flavored varieties for their uniqueness and versatility. Whether it’s seasonal offerings, sugar-free options, or wellness-inspired blends, flavored coffee has carved out a permanent space in the modern café menu and at-home brewing routine.

How are coffee beans flavored?

Flavored coffee starts with freshly roasted beans. Once the beans are cooled, flavoring agents — either natural, synthetic, or a mix of both — are applied using food-safe methods.

  • Natural flavors: These come from real ingredients, such as vanilla bean extract, citrus oils, or nut essences.
  • Synthetic flavors: Lab-created but food-grade, these allow for highly consistent flavor profiles and unique combinations not easily achieved otherwise.
  • Functional infusions: At YPL Coffee, we can go a step further. We can add functional coffee extracts like lion’s mane, cordyceps, chaga and reishi for health benefits.
     

The flavoring is applied via an aroma system that coats the beans evenly. This is usually done in small batches, allowing for precision and quality control. The timing and dosage are key: too soon, and the flavor can fade in storage; too late, and it might not bind well to the beans.

Your custom flavored coffee options

We offer a wide variety of flavor profiles that can suit virtually any taste or brand personality. Some of our most popular include:

  • Vanilla
  • Hazelnut
  • Chocolate
  • Caramel
  • Cinnamon spice
  • Coconut cream
  • Seasonal blends like pumpkin spice or peppermint mocha
     

All flavors can be tailored to regular or decaf roasts, and combined with functional ingredients such as nootropics or adaptogenic mushrooms (e.g., cordyceps or reishi).

By creating your own unique blend, you get to offer customers something personal — whether that’s a signature flavor for your café, a wellness blend for your ecommerce brand, or a special edition for holiday gifting.

Flavored coffee roasting techniques

Flavored coffee isn’t just about tossing some extract onto beans and hoping for the best. The process is nuanced.

We flavor beans after roasting. This is essential because flavorings are sensitive to heat and would degrade during the roasting process. Here’s how the process works:

  1. Beans are roasted to your preferred profile (light, medium, dark).
  2. Once cooled, they’re transferred to a flavoring chamber.
  3. Liquid flavorings or additives are sprayed or tumbled in.
  4. Beans are gently agitated for even coating.
  5. They’re rested for 24–48 hours before packaging to ensure full absorption and consistency.

This method also enables layering — allowing us to infuse both flavor and functionality in a single step.

Packaging and shelf life

Flavored coffee, like any fresh product, deserves packaging that preserves its integrity. We offer a variety of packaging formats, all designed to extend shelf life and protect delicate aromas:

  • Aroma valves for bean and ground coffee bags
  • Recycled, fully home-compostable or industrial compostable materials bags
  • Home Compostable or recyclable aluminum capsules with nitrogen flushing to remove oxygen and prevent oxidation
     

Shelf life varies by packaging type and storage, but flavored coffee generally stays at peak quality for:

  • 12-24 months in compostable bags
  • Up to 24 months in nitrogen-flushed capsules
  • Always best stored in a cool, dry place away from sunlight

Who is this for?

Flavored, roast-to-order coffee is perfect for:

  • Cafés looking to launch a seasonal signature blend
  • Corporate gift programs that need something premium and personal
