Customer "Roast Dates" Information

Roast Dates Let’s be frank, we don’t roast gourmet coffee every day, and certainly not every specialty coffee blend every day. That is not possible unless we get a lot more people in the Hills District buying premium gourmet coffee from a local coffee roaster as opposed to cheap supermarket coffees. Please spread the word so we can roast coffee more often. But our premium coffee is always fresher and better quality than that sourced at supermarkets. If you want the freshest roast coffee then please ask, but it may not be your first choice. We generally roast every 2nd Read more >

SWISS WATER COFFEE - Natural Process

The SWISS WATER® Process is a 100% chemical-free coffee decaffeination process that produces robust, great-tasting decaf. Most other processes use chemical solvents like methylene chloride to remove caffeine from coffee beans. This is not only unhealthy but also removes more flavour than necessary! Conversely, the SWISS WATER® Process uses only water when removing caffeine, producing pure, water-processed decaf coffee. The process starts with one philosophy: a passion for crafting amazing decaffeinated coffee. Starting with small batches, the caffeine is removed in a gentle, 100% chemical free process, so that whether it’s morning or night, you have the option of enjoying Read more >

“Beeng Cha” Wild Green Pu-Erh

Unlike other Beeng Cha teas, this one is unfermented. The leaf base is selected from wild tea trees. The taste is akin to a dark green tea. As the leaves age, they will mellow out and astringency will decrease, but in the meantime you can counterbalance the green taste by making sure you do not over-steep the leaves. Yields several brews if prepared gongfu style. Perfect for drinking with dim sum meals, or for sharing with the best of company. Helps in digestion. Considered a medicinal tea in China, this Pu-erh is believed to reduce cholesterol levels and aid in Read more >
