About Us
We love coffee. We also love the idea that coffee can provide trade, not aid, to small crop farmers and co-operatives from around the world. Our company focus is on providing organic, planet-friendly coffee. That's why we source our beans from companies who import a selection of organic coffee from the finest growing regions of the world. We are also proud supporters of Fair Trade or community-conscious coffee. The result?
Our earth wins, since no chemicals are used and, in many cases, the rainforest is used to help grow the coffee and not torn down. This means that the birds and animals who live in the trees don’t lose their habitat or digest poison, so they also win. The farmer wins because we pay more for that planet-friendly bean. You win because you have great tasting, fresh coffee today with no chemicals and surprisingly, it isn’t
as expensive as you might think. Your children win, because every step toward a green future preserves their future.
About Coffee
Coffee is a cultural mainstay. It is the last affordable luxury. It is our most social beverage. Whether in the office or at home, at the ball field or a hockey game, with dinner or a doughnut, it is part of our social fabric. Our planet drinks over 18 billion cups of coffee per year. Too few of these cups of coffee are organic but those numbers are on the rise. With such huge numbers of people drinking coffee daily, the impact
on our earth is massive, since it takes 1 tree, 1 year to produce 1 pound. Canadians in particular are increasingly more aware of the difference between a caffeine fix and a good cup of joe. Good coffee has all the complexity of great wine for pennies a cup. We never add flavour, colour, or preservatives. We don't add anything but coffee beans to our coffee. We encourange you to read labels and read between the lines of your favorite coffee.
If coffee says organic – make sure it says 100% organic. If it says Fair Trade – it should say 100% Fair Trade. All our coffee is 100% Arabica, 100% organic, 100% coffee. Absolutely NO fillers or flavour inhancers. It is also roasted to order and not sitting in a warehouse going stale or vaccuum sealed with 1 puff of freshness left. We roast your order within a day or two of your order. Unfortunately not every coffee we carry is Fair Trade - but we buy it whenever we can and label it properly. No marketing scam,
no playing with numbers or mixing inferior coffees with good coffees to create deceptive "blends".
We would also like to point out that not all packages are sold by the same weight. All of our coffee is 1 full pound or 1/2 pound whether ground or whole bean.
We also carry a small selection of "off menu" specialty coffee's. Specialty coffees are not "commodity coffee" and do not fall into the realm of
Fair Trade coffee's either. These beans are "Specialty Grade" and carry a premium price exceeding the Fair Trade minimums. We still insist that these
coffee's are organic. Please contact us directly for prices and availability. We have discovered that there are warehouses full of expensive poor quality
coffee's and warehouses full of appropriately priced exceptional coffees. We don't just buy what's available. We buy what tastes wonderful. Whether you
have a sensitive pallet and are concerned about the subtle qualities and aroma's of coffee - or just know what you like.... we work hard at bringing you the
top 20% of quality coffees. Our specialty coffees are in the top 10%.
