LUXURIOUS INSTANT COFFEE

We use the same naturally processed, high quality, single-origin, Brazilian beans as our Butter Knife Espresso and roast it at home in Toronto.

The coffee is then extracted and slowly freeze dried to sublimate the water without exposing it to high heat. This yields a powdered instant coffee that maintains its delicious chocolatey + nutty flavor and aroma.

IT’S PERFECT FOR THE COTTAGE, CAMPING, OR ON-THE-GO WHEN YOU’RE CRUNCHED FOR TIME.

ONLINE NOW AND IN SHOPS NEXT WEEK.

GREAT THINGS COME IN SMALL PACKAGES.

The Black Diamond Chain Link Espresso Mug is a 3oz ceramic shot glass that punches up in weight by looking like a coffee mug four times its size.

Designed with a small, C-shaped handle that is easy to grip, this mug will be a staple of your home coffee bar for years to come.

Get your fingers on one before they’re all gone. Available online now. In SJCB shops this coming weekend.

NEW AND ONLY AVAILABLE FOR A LIMITED TIME! UNIQUELY REFINED SINGLE-VARIETAL MICROLOT COFFEE FROM COSTA RICA, IN STORES AND ONLINE NOW.

In the Central Valley, the Las Lajas Micromill at La Calle Lilies Farm has processed this Typica coffee in a style called Black Honey. 

These beans have no actual honey, despite their name and sticky appearance. The process originated in Costa Rica and uses less water than “natural” or “washed” process coffees.

The Black Honey process is a specific process initially developed by Las Lajas. Freshly harvested and sorted cherries are delivered to the mill and promptly depulped. After this, the coffee is transferred to a covered patio where it is only turned one time a day until the drying process is complete.

WE’VE ROASTED THESE BEANS TO TASTE LIKE BLACKFOREST CAKE, MULLED WINE AND BLUEBERRY JAM. DON’T MISS OUT.

WE MADE IT TO #1

Over a decade in the lab, roasting small batches 6 days a week, sourcing delicious fresh crops of the sweetest chocolatey and juicy coffees we can find, being smart with our budget and keeping high quality coffee at accessible prices for our customers, with & at the helm. I’m honoured to be rated #1 by readers.

Im reminded daily of every step that goes into producing great coffee, and it’s a mountain of work to get there.

Thank you for the recognition 🙏🏼

OUR FRESHEST FILTER COFFEE, COLOMBIA: EL TAMBO

Program: Women Producers (ASMUCAFE)

ASMUCAFE stands for Asociación de Mujeres Agropecuarias de Uribe, an organization of women farmers and landowners in El Tambo, a municipality within Cauca. The women's mission as an association is to improve their families' quality of life through coffee farming and to contribute positively to their community by working together and sharing resources, knowledge, and support.

The coffee, all of which is of Castillo or Colombia variety, is picked as purple (Castillo) or bright red (Colombia) cherry and undergoes a somewhat unusual “double" fermentation process, as the women describe it: First, the cherries are left in the loading hoppers for 14 hours, then they are de-pulped in the afternoons and evening hours and placed into traditional open fermentation tanks for another 10 hours. Then, they are washed three to four times before being dried in parabolic dryers or the sun for 8–12 days.

FRESHLY ROASTED IN TORONTO. PICK UP A BAG ON OUR WEBSITE, AT A SJCB SHOP OR ONE OF OUR COFFEE PARTNERS. LOCATIONS LINK IN BIO.

SJCB in the PATH is deep underground, but you know we stay up 🙌🏼
