Why are you different from other coffee brands? We select, roast and sell some of the best speciality coffees on the market. Our bags are compostable. We deliver our clients with reusable buckets (for bulk) that we wash and reuse saving thousands of bags from the landfill. We deliver via electric vehicle and bike in Montreal. We are a certified carbon-neutral product and company. We have over 22 different products and we love to see our bags on your counter, whatever the profile you prefer.
