A tremendous amount of work goes into coffee production before it reaches your cup. Coffee farmers cultivate the land in order to produce the best cup possible. Then, it is milled and fermented before each and every bean is sorted by hand in order to give you the best cup of coffee available.  Once the coffee is bagged, it is loaded onto large cargo ships and exported around the world. Next comes the magic. Once a roaster has received the coffee, it is their duty to roast it perfectly, revealing secrets inside each bean that only a master can find. Finally, the coffee is brewed and served at Restaurants near Air Canada Centre. There are countless ways to brew up that perfect cup. Drip, french press, espresso, just to name a few, are probably some of the most popular ways to brew it up. Of course, it all depends on how you like it!

I was recently given a sample of Colombian “Sierra Nevada”, a Fair Trade and Organic certified coffee. I’m not a huge fan of Colombian coffees. I’ve sampled many, but I tend to find them a little too boring for my palette. I like a wild, robust and complex coffee. Hard to find in Colombians with [...]
