Not cheap but great coffee. However, plan for slow processing of your order since they say they have a 5-10 business day turnaround for roasting & then they have to package and ship it after that.. so make sure you are still well stocked for your coffee fix (I'm not and I'm waiting). If there's a sale (which they have often), expect it to take over 2 weeks before you get your order. It's been 2 weeks for me and they still haven't even shipped my order...
Variety of beans from blends available year-round to unique single origin offerings. Many of them are on the darker end of medium. I have ordered from them many times over a few years and always frustrated at the processing / shipping time. In my experience, they take about 8-10 business days (Usually longer if they have a big sale) and another 4-5 business days to pack and ship it through a private carrier. That means from the time of ordering, it takes about 3 weeks to arrive...
Very good roaster on par with some of the other specialty coffee roasters in Ontario with a nice variety of single origins and varied selections.
Experience would be better with faster turnaround times which other places offer. 5-10 days is probably out of keeping with peer roasters; I've received orders same day from GTA roasters and to Ontario in less time even from from B.C. roasters like 49th.
