After a much longer time than I wanted, I'm finally back with the highly anticipated part two of my Red Racoon Coffee series. If you want to catch up on the first part, or if you'd just like a refresher, you can find part one here. For part two I sampled their rum aged coffee …
Alexander’s Coffee Bar- Sidney
Before we dive into this week's post, I'd be remiss if I didn't share some sad news. This past week saw the passing of one of my original supporters. He wouldn't miss a single post and even gifted me a couple different coffees to try and review. This one is dedicated to you, Mel, we …
Vulture Ridge Coffee- Naylor Bay
Vulture Ridge Coffee has been roasting coffee for about a year now over on Mayne Island, between Vancouver Island and the mainland. I ran into them at a market and, you know me, I'm always intrigued to find a new roaster to try. One of the things I loved about Vulture Ridge was their bag …
Farm & Forest- Darkwoods Espresso
Before we jump in to this week's post, I'd just like to remind everyone that there is still time to enter my giveaway over on Instagram. Head on over to my page to check out all the details! You can win either a bag of this coffee, or the roast featured in my last post …
Selkirk Moose- Farm & Forest
Before we dive into the actual review, I feel like it's worth mentioning some background information on Farm & Forest. I feel like their mantra can be summed up in two words- sustainability and community. Sustainability is huge, especially in this day and age. For starters, Farm & Forest is a carbon neutral company. Additionally, …
Western Red Cedar- Farm & Forest
The "Western Red Cedar", a medium/dark roast blend of four different origins intrigued me to say the least. Now, before I dive in to my review, a disclaimer: this particular coffee came to me via my parents from a hotel stay when they were in town. With that in mind, I had no idea how …
Hey Monday!- Espresso Roast
Normally, most of us groan and complain when Monday rolls around, but the folks behind Hey Monday! are doing a great job of changing how I feel about Monday. The enthusiasm in their branding matches the enthusiasm that they pour into every single bean that they roast. Recently they sent me a bag of their …
Red Raccoon Coffee- Brandy Aged Coffee
This year, I seem to have had quite a few infused coffees (not that I'm complaining), but up to this point, I haven't tried a brandy aged coffee. Thanks to Red Raccoon Coffee, I can cross that off the list now. Based in the Vancouver area, Red Raccoon is brand new on the coffee scene, …
Hullabaloo Coffee Truck
I recently had the pleasure of visiting the Hullabaloo coffee truck located next to the Red Barn (which is a very cool store in its own right). They have a pretty neat set up with a few tables in a fairly quiet local. Being that it was a beautiful fall afternoon when I went, they …
Fullstrong Coffee II- “Bordeaux”
Welcome to the second part of my Fullstrong Coffee series. For part one, you can find that through this link. In this edition, I had the opportunity to sample their "Bordeaux" blend- a darker blend. As I'm sure you know by now, traditionally I've been a little leery of darker coffees, but I've come around …
