Smooth, full-bodied, and comforting, this coffee is designed for those who enjoy darker roasts with flavour clarity and depth.

Coffee questions
Questions, answered
The things people ask us most.
What does it taste like?
Rich, bold, and smooth, with dark chocolate, berry, and cinnamon. Low acidity with a gentle spice warmth.
Which brew methods suit it best?
Espresso, French press, drip machine, and moka pot. A slightly shorter espresso shot keeps its berry sweetness.
Does it make good espresso?
Yes. It gives a smooth, low-acid shot with dark chocolate depth and a soft berry lift, and it holds up well in milk.
Is this a good coffee for beginners?
Yes. It is a smooth, bold dark roast with approachable sweetness.
How should I grind my coffee for my brew method?
Pick your grind above, or choose whole bean and grind at home. As a guide: fine for espresso, medium for pour over and drip, and coarse for French press.
How fresh is the coffee when it arrives?
We roast weekly in small batches in Ottawa, and your order ships within 3 business days of being placed, so your coffee reaches you soon after its roast for peak flavour.
Should I choose whole bean or ground?
Every coffee is available as whole bean or ground to your brew method. Whole bean stays fresher longer; ground is ready to brew right away.
How should I store my coffee to keep it fresh?
Keep it in an airtight container away from light, heat, and moisture. Avoid the fridge, and use it within a few weeks of opening for the best flavour.
