Backstory
If you pressed anyone who’s been working in (or just enjoying) coffee to tell you what their favourite origin is – Kenya almost always comes up. It’s not arbitrary – These coffees grow mainly above 1500 meters, in the volcanic soils of either side of mount Kenya and are among the juiciest, most vibrant coffees on the planet. Filled with phosphoric brightness
The store will be temporarily closing from now until later in October. Subscription Sign-ups remain open, and if you want to hop aboard for the October subscription, please sign up by October 5th.
We plan to have limited coffee available from our last production in our old space, roast date Oct 2nd - If there is inventory in the shop it will be from this time, feel free to order until sold out.
After many months of planning, it’s finally time for us to move our little roastery to a new space where we can stretch out and grow.
We’ll be putting our Diedrich IR-12 roaster on a truck, 25km to it’s new home at our new location near the foot of Allouette Lake in Maple Ridge, BC.
We hope to be back up and running as soon as possible, but until then all our energy will be needed to focus on the move and get the roaster back in operation.
Wish us luck and thanks so much for all your support. Can’t wait to be roasting for you on the other side! - Laura & Nate Dismiss
