Made in Alberta

It can be tough to wade through the muddy waters of origins, tasting notes and processing to find the beans you are looking for. 
To help you on your way, we've created a little guide to selecting your coffee.

Guatemala - La Florida | Washed
Colombia - La Union | Washed
Colombia - La Vergal | Decaf
 

 Fruity and Sweet

These coffees are full of fruit notes and character.
Often natural or honey processed, this means more of the characteristics from the coffee cherry – think fruit and sugar - make their way into the cup.
 
Ethiopian - Melese Wolde Shantawane | Natural
Myanmar - Myay Ni Kone | Natural
Rwanda - Horizon Maraba Site | Natural
Brazil - Daterra Summer Solstice | Tree-Dried Natural
 
 

Light and Bright

These coffees have a strong, acidic backbone. They are likely a meticulously washed coffee, which means clean, clear flavour notes.
Ethiopian -Techsome Gemechu Lot 2
Colombia - Finca La Esmeralda - Yeny Pinchao | Washed
Burundi - Nyagishiru – Muyinga | Washed
 

 Exotic and Exciting

These coffees will be packed with intense and wild flavours and should elicit an appreciation for just how unique and intriguing a cup of coffee can be. Often containing exotic varietals or part of new or experimental processing methods such as anaerobic or yeast fermentation.
 

Espresso

Our current go-to espresso that we are pulling in the shop is the Guatemala - La Florida | Washed. The Guatemala is straight-ahead chocolate and sweetness with a pleasing, lingering finish. We also love pulling the Colombia - La Soledad | Anaerobic Natural Pink Bourbon - 250g. It's a full-bodied, creamy and funky espresso. High sweetness, juicy, with a candy-like finish. You'll still be able to experience these attributes in a short milk beverage.
