About Our Coffee
We specialize in Fair Trade, Arabica coffee beans, from plants grown at
elevations above 3,000 feet. Research has shown that the higher up
the slopes coffee is grown, the fewer acidic and caffeine properties they
hold. Less acid means more rich coffee taste and is much easier on
our digestive and nervous systems. Some of our coffees are grown as
high as 5,000 feet.
Most of our coffee beans, from 15 countries around the world, are
certified organic. Why is this important? Green coffee beans are
porous. Pesticides easily penetrate the beans (and other plant
parts). What doesn't get destroyed in the roasting process, we
ingest. The whole world benefits from fewer pesticides and
chemicals. Some of our coffees are also grown in United Nations Bird
Sanctuaries.
Custom Coffee
The roasting process also has an effect on coffee flavour. Our
roasting process is similar to that of a large air-popper: the beans are
suspended in hot air, roasting the coffee in half the time of other
roasters. The result is a uniform roast without compromising rich
flavour.
We tailor coffees to your taste by offering a custom roast - only 8
pounds at a time. Bulk coffee roasting (several hundred pounds at a
time) compared with custom roasting is like preparing a meal for 1,000 people
vs. a gourmet dinner for two. We take pride in our ability to meet
the demands of a wide variety of tastebuds.
Coffee roast is an individual preference. Medium roasted coffee
offers layers of flavour, while French (dark) roasted coffee eliminates the
layers and cut right to the coffee taste. Some describe coffee taste
as nutty, or fruity, sharp, full, thin and a wide variety of other
descriptions. What matters most is how satisfying the flavour is to
you.
Our roasted beans are currently being sold locally, as well as shipped
regionally and across North America.
We guarantee freshness by roasting and shipping our orders within 48 hours
of ordering.
We invite you to let us satisfy your palate with our
premium coffees, and to treat your family and friends no matter where
they are.
Mail orders are welcome!
