The Specialty Coffee Association (SCA) defines ‘specialty coffee’ as Arabica coffee with a cup score of 80+ points on a 100-point grading system. The coffee must be cupped by a certified Q-Grader, or quality grader, who is credentialed to score coffees based on the standards developed by the Specialty Coffee Association of America’s (SCAA). 

Direct Trade means working directly with the producers who share their high quality specialty coffees with the roastery. It’s a sourcing philosophy that emphasizes genuine relationships, mutual benefit and full transparency between producer, roaster and consumer. Through Direct Trade, we know the premium prices we pay go straight into the hands of our producer partners. While Direct Trade is not always accessible for a variety of reasons, most of the coffees we source meet our Direct Trade policy standard.

Absolutely! We roast, bag, pack and ship Monday through Friday every week. For the best brewing experience, we also suggest resting your coffee for this amount of time, which allows the beans to degas – where C02 is released from the beans after roasting. We believe this will deliver more flavour and clarity in your cup.
