About Blending
The blend, or combination of single origin coffees, can make for a broader spectrum of flavour. The best blends bring together distinctive coffees that create a flavour that is greater than each coffee individually.
Our Signature Blends:
SMOOTH SAILING (Medium): A lively 3-bean blend. Smooth, as its name suggests, but definitely not wimpy. Full of flavour.
HAPPY MEDIUM (Medium): A balanced coffee with solid body and splendid flavour. Creamy and sweet.
TRAILBLAZER (Medium-Dark): A blend of 3 medium and medium-dark roasted beans. Rugged and full-bodied, with a little kick. Nice.
BIG BLACK DOG (Dark): Our most popular blend. 3 beans, 2 different roasts. Dark, big body with a smooth finish best describes this beauty.
SHUSWAGGI (Dark): Dark and mysterious like its namesake, the legendary Shuswap Lake “ogopogo,” this 4-bean combination offers a delicious complex flavour. Big taste.
MIDNIGHT ESPRESSO (Dark): Mostly dark beans blended with a little medium for sweetness. Classic espresso flavour. This versatile blend makes a delicious latte and a sumptuous cup of coffee as well.
XTREME TRAILBLAZER (French): As dark as we go. This blend was originally roasted for the Rapattack crew who like their coffee almost as scorched as the forest fires they fight. Smokin’ flavour.
CAFÉ FEMENINO FRENCH BLEND (French): Blend of 3 different beans roasted deep and dark. Smoky, bold, smooth.
UNPLUGGED (Medium-Dark DECAF): Swiss Water Process Peruvian Decaf. Smooth, nice balance, medium body, sweet.
BUZZ LITE (Dark DECAF): Swiss Water Process blend of Indonesian and South American Decafs. Rich, sweet, and nicely smoked.
Single Origin Coffees
Single Origin Coffees, also called varietals, are unblended coffees from a single source. As with wines, many people are coming to appreciate the distinct characteristics of different coffees. Each varietal has a unique flavour influenced by environmental factors, soil, climate, altitude and adjoining crops. It is our goal to offer choices that represent the best coffees available from various regions in the world.
