Coffee Tree RoasteryAbout This Coffee
This coffee is from the Juja and Thika regions of Central Kenya's highlands at 1600 meters altitude. It features the SL28 cultivar, grown in rich volcanic soil with cool nights and steady rainfall that allows cherries to mature slowly. The coffee is washed processed, with cherries hand-selected at peak ripeness during twice-yearly harvests and dried on raised beds. The AA grade designation indicates large, dense beans with a screen size of 17-18. Flavor profile includes bright currants and lemon zest, black tea, refined brown sugar sweetness with crisp, wine-like acidity.

Coffee Tree Roastery
Opened in 1988 as Toronto's first on site roastery, Coffee Tree Roastery has been a fixture of the Bloor West Village neighborhood for over three decades. Inspired by the aroma of roasting coffee along the Champs Elysees and the ritual of Parisian cafe au lait, the founders set out to bring that same experience to their community. Today, beans are roasted on an American made San Franciscan barrel roaster, with the process visible to visitors most days from their shop at 2412 Bloor Street West. Long before ethical sourcing became a trend, Coffee Tree championed Fair Trade, organic, UTZ, and Rainforest Alliance certified coffees, reflecting a commitment to both quality and the well being of farming communities.
