TOMORROW Coffee for a Cause: Climate Coffee is available to purchase in the cafes and online. $5.00 from every bag sold will go towards Grow Ahead and their Agroforestry initiative. For this release, we’re partnering with Grow Ahead, an organization that helps farmers plant trees in coffee-growing regions of the world. Agroforestry is a type of reforestation that is unique. By planting trees together with crops, farmers do more than just offset carbon: their farms are healthier which means their coffee yields are higher which means their income increases which benefits their families and communities. For every dollar raised, Grow Ahead is able to plant one tree on coffee farms. So when you purchase a bag of Coffee for a Cause: Climate Coffee, you fund the planting of 5 trees!

Its coffees favourite time of the year! Something autumnal coming on Wednesday... stay tuned!

It's coffee's favourite time of the year! Something autumnal coming on Wednesday... stay tuned!

Gerardo Penalba undertakes wet milling on his own farm, which distinguishes him from a majority of COMSA farmers who simply deliver their coffee in cherry form to the centralized wet mill at COMSA. This allows him to have a greater degree of control on his own production, drying his coffee in his own solar dryers on his farm. He has also experimented with alternative milling techniques. In addition to a high quality washed coffee, Gerardo also produces excellent honey and natural coffees. Read more on the blog: https://buff.ly/3c296qA

AVAILABLE NOW! The latest Single Origin microlot comes to us from Gerardo Penalba in Marcala, Honduras. Balanced acidity, notes of grape and brown sugar, a tea-like finish and the signature sweetness thanks to honey-processing, this coffee is a winner! EXTREMELY limited quantity available online and in our Almonte, Westboro, and NAC cafs! https://buff.ly/33LE4zN

We long for the day when we can open our doors, serve our customers at tables, and hand you a coffee with an unobstructed smile. While its exciting to move towards Stage 3 as a province, we as a company have decided not to rush into it. Our cafes will remain open for take-out (and drive-thru) but we will not be offering dine-in service for the time being. The last few months have been filled with changes and new ways of doing things and there are likely many more changes to ...come! We want to give our staff and customers a chance to catch their breath, adopt the current changes, and feel comfortable with the level of safety and precautions before we add anything else to the mix. We will continue to adapt our service and spaces to be able to serve you, our customers, the best we can while also keeping our community safe and our business sustainable. Thank you for your understanding and patience! See more
