About the beans

We source our coffee through the local roasters in yyc called CAFFE MONTE

The coffee industry has coined the term “Third Wave Coffee,” which refers to a movement to produce a higher quality of coffee. We see coffee as an artisanal foodstuff like wine, rather than a commodity like wheat. Riding the Third Wave involves improvements at all stages of production, from improving coffee bean growing, harvesting, and processing, to stronger relationships between coffee growers and coffee traders and roasters, as well as higher quality and fresh roasting (at times called micro-roasting in analogy with microbrew beer) and skilled brewing practices.

At Caffe Monte, they understand coffee because it has literally been their life’s work for over a quarter century. The process that starts with Caffe Monte’s carefully choosing their green beans by travelling to countries of origin continues at their Calgary-based roastery. The roasting process is complex and the tiniest of changes in roasting time, temperature, and other factors can significantly affect the taste of their coffee.

Caffe Monte is your Canadian Craft Coffee Roaster. We come together enthusiastically in the Foothills of the Rocky Mountains to create this artisian coffee. Our passion and attention to quality is evident in every cup. Using only specialty coffee beans sourced from smallholder farms around the world, we demnad thar each cup delivers the highest level of exellence. Working with direct trade relationships we create a circle of love. Drink this coffee with dignity, enjoy the bean!

We are so proud to be able to continue to learn from them and to continue developing a better cup of coffee for each visit you have with us.
