Choose coffee by flavour and brew method
Start with the flavours you enjoy and how you brew. A familiar, chocolate-led cup can be just as rewarding as a bright, floral one. The right coffee is the one you look forward to making again.
Our coffees are roasted in small batches in Ontario and available as whole beans or ground for filter and drip brewing. Here is a practical way to find your starting point.
Choose by the flavours you enjoy
Chocolate, caramel and a rounded cup
Brazil Poços de Caldas brings chocolate, caramel and apple notes in a medium-dark roast. Start here if you enjoy a rounded coffee, often add milk, or want a comforting espresso.
Crosswind House combines coffees from Brazil and Colombia, with milk chocolate, caramel and pear notes. Its medium roast makes it a flexible starting point for both filter brewing and espresso.
Fruit, sweetness and balance
Colombia Nariño offers pear sweetness, floral notes and lively acidity. Choose it when you want a clean cup with more brightness, whether you use a pour-over, drip brewer or espresso machine.
Lift brings together coffees from Colombia and Ethiopia. Pear, honey, stone fruit and black tea notes make it a good place to explore a more expressive blend.
Floral aromas and a tea-like finish
Ethiopia Yirgacheffe Konga has honey, stone fruit, black tea and jasmine notes. Its light-medium roast suits drinkers who enjoy aromatic filter coffee or a brighter style of espresso.
Single origin or blend?
A single-origin coffee highlights a particular source. It is a useful way to explore how coffees from different regions taste. A blend brings coffees together to create a combined flavour profile. Neither is automatically better: choose the character you enjoy.
Explore our single origins if you want to compare regional character, or our blends for coffees built around balance and a particular flavour profile.
Match the grind to your equipment
- Have a grinder? Choose whole bean and grind just before brewing. This also lets you adjust the grind to your equipment and taste.
- Use a filter or drip brewer without a grinder? Choose our ground filter/drip option.
- Use an espresso machine? Choose whole bean and use an espresso-capable grinder. Our filter/drip grind is not an espresso grind.
What do tasting notes mean?
Chocolate, pear and jasmine describe flavours and aromas we associate with the brewed coffee. They are not added ingredients. Your water, brewer, recipe and personal taste can change which notes stand out.
Try two coffees side by side
For a useful comparison, start with Brazil and Ethiopia: one offers chocolate-led depth, the other a more floral, tea-like cup. Brew both with the same method and recipe, then taste them as they cool. Notice the sweetness, body and finish rather than trying to identify every tasting note.
For a more familiar starting pair, try House and Colombia. You can explore the same coffee through different brew methods using our pour-over, drip and espresso recipes.
