Opus

About This Coffee

A light roast single-origin coffee from Mauricio Montanchez of Los Guaduales farm in the Alto del Obispo area of Huila, Colombia, grown at 1850 masl. The Pink Bourbon variety is washed using a unique mashed method: cherries undergo 12-hour fermentation in a wooden hopper before de-pulping, then dry ferment in majolica tanks for 48 hours, are washed and soaked for 12 hours, and dried for 16–20 days. The cup is floral-forward with notes of jasmine, honeydew, and cranberry, with a well-balanced acidity and silky mouthfeel. Harvested spring 2025, imported by Semilla.

Modus Coffee

Sharif and Jessica founded Modus Coffee in early 2015 on Broadway between Cambie and Main in Vancouver, choosing the Latin word for "way" or "method" to describe their structured, transparent approach to the craft. They roast on a Loring using smart roast technology, producing light to medium profiles that emphasize clarity and sweetness across single origins from Ethiopia, Kenya, Colombia, Guatemala, Costa Rica, and El Salvador. The team includes Q graders and certified SCA professionals, which shows in the detailed origin information and transparent pricing they share with customers. Regular public cuppings and education workshops are a core part of the operation, alongside a wholesale program that supplies specialty cafes across British Columbia.
