The world's best coffees are known as specialty coffee. Like fine wines, specialty coffees express terroir, or a sense of place through their flavour. We source the finest green coffee available, purchase the best tasting coffee regardless of its certifications, and always pay well above Fair Trade prices on every coffee we buy.
Our roasting style is characterized by a balance between complexity and drinkability. Every coffee requires individual care and attention to coax out its inherent character and harmonize acidity with sweetness. Once coffee is roasted, it naturally produces carbon dioxide as an oxygen barrier for about two weeks.

Report
After 6 years working with Nestl, I wanted to get back to my roots of leading a family business. In 1996, I purchased the Coffee Roaster from Pat and Linda and renamed the company JJ Bean, Vancouver's own Microroaster. Pat and Linda Graf started the Coffee Roaster in 1984 when they took over from Upper Canada Tea and Coffee on Granville Island.

Understanding Coffee
Report
Coffee can seem complicated. Innumerable factors influence the aromas, tastes, and structure in a cup before it's even roasted. Our goal is always to make you smarter about coffee and help you choose coffees that you will actually enjoy drinking. Roast colour (or profile) is where most people start when differentiating between coffees.
