Pour Over Coffee
In pour over brewing, hot water is poured slowly over coffee grounds in concentric circle, which allows for a more even extraction process. The resulting cup of coffee is simultaneously rich, clean and bright, with a higher extraction and no sediment. If you’re looking for clarity with more distinct aromatics, sugars, and acids;
pour-over is unmatched.

Coffee from a French Press tends to be sweet, one dimensional and better suited for medium to dark roasted coffees.

Our Sourcing
Coffee is, more often than not, grown in developing nations and area's where large conglomerants operate with questionable ethics. As roasters, we have to be diligent with our Coffee's traceability, the ethics of the farms & exporting cooperatives we work with, aswell as our partnered importers.
All of our coffee is purchased either direct from farms via a representative or cooperatives that operate under the FAIRTRADE label. In both scenarios, producers are provided with a Fairtrade Premium or a similar fixed rate that is well above Coffee's commodity price.
While the additional funds provide some security for Farmers, our partnered Canadian importers also personally vet these operation, ensuring healthy working conditions and to assess quality of seasonal harvests.
