Buy Coffee & Support Corktown

Until the end of the PanAm & Para PanAm Games, 5% of net sales from any coffee purchase delivered to a Corktown Toronto will be donated to the Corktown Residents & Business Association.

We'll tally up all the Corktown & area sales up to August 15, 2015 and cut a cheque to the CRBA to help it with its excellent community activities. And for Corktowners who sign up to get coffee on autopilot - delivered every 2 weeks, 3 weeks or monthly - we'll continue the donation to the CRBA for all of 2015.

Viva la coffee revolution!

El Libertador Feature Coffee

Viva la coffee revolution! Liberate your taste!

Cinco de Mayo seems like the perfect day to introduce our newest feature blend.

El Libertador is named for Símon Bolívar, El Libertador (The Liberator) who led the South American fight for independence from the Spanish. Our special blend brings together delicious organic fairtrade coffees from Peru and Bolivia with coffees from Gran Colombia, Bolívar’s short-lived republic.

Roasted medium-dark, El Libertador shows characteristics we love about South American coffees. Semi-sweet chocolate, smooth, rich and full-bodied. Delicious on its own or as a cafe con leche, with a bit of milk for added sweetness.

There is a limited supply of this delicious blend, click here to give it a try and join the coffee revolution!

Did you know that Bolivia used to part of Peru? It became an independent country under Símon Bolívar, who was asked to be its first head of state but turned that down. The new country was named after Bolívar anyway.

A New Year & A New Feature Coffee

Fireside Blend

Happy 2015! The new year seems like the perfect time to announce our new feature coffee: the Fireside Blend.

Based on a dark and delicious coffee from Sumatra, Indonesia, the Fireside Blend will warm you up on these cold January days. 

The rainforests of the northern Sumatran highlands produce wonderful coffees with earthy, smoky characteristics that subtly evoke some of the same tastes as mulled wine - clove, dried fruit, maybe even a bit of pepper.

The beans in our Fireside Blend are naturally processed - the whole coffee cherry is dried in the sun before the fruit is removed. The natural process (also known as the "dry process") can be tricky to get right. While it is drying, the crop is carefully monitored to make sure it doesn't over ferment. The payoff is a coffee with amazing flavour and aroma baked in from its time in the sun. Click here to give it a try. 

Cheers to the New Year! May yours be filled with happiness and great coffee!
