Old School Espresso Whole Beans - Gourmet Coffee

49th Parallel Coffee Roasters, based in Vancouver, British Columbia, boasts over 20 years of expertise in crafting exceptional specialty coffee that is sustainably sourced and infused with a spirit of discovery, making it accessible to more people.

Underpinning the brand's ethos is its Direct Trade philosophy, which is a multifaceted commitment, mechanism, and exploration aimed at building strong relationships with the coffee community and ensuring sustainable prices are paid for one-of-a-kind coffee.

The roaster's diverse range of coffee offerings caters to various palates. For light roasts, the focus is on showcasing the origin flavors, such as the bright, acidic, floral, and fruity notes in the Epic Espresso. In contrast, the dark roasts emphasize roasting flavors, delivering a bold taste with chocolate and caramel notes, as found in the Blue Sky Espresso. The medium roasts strike a balance, harmonizing body, flavor, aroma, and acidity between origin and roast characteristics, as exemplified by the Old School and Middle School Espresso.

Customers have the option to purchase whole bean coffee, ensuring maximum freshness. The espresso roasts are designed for high solubility, enhancing sweetness and body, making them ideal for espresso machines and moka pots. The filter roasts, on the other hand, are crafted for drip or pour-over methods, optimized for the longer brewing times of 3-5 minutes to ensure the best filter coffee flavor.

49th Parallel Coffee Roasters pride themselves on using 100% Arabica beans, with little variation in caffeine content, as the species is the primary determinant. They also offer a variety of organic certified coffee options, such as the "Organic French Roast Filter" and "Organic Espresso Capsule" (Nespresso OriginalLine Machine Compatible).

The brand's flagship product, the Old School Espresso, is a medium-dark roasted coffee that highlights the sweetness and body of the beans, delivering a low-acidity, full-bodied experience with dark chocolate aromas and flavors of cocoa, caramel, and molasses.

At the heart of 49th Parallel Coffee Roasters' mission is their commitment to leading the specialty coffee movement by focusing on exceptional quality, direct trade partnerships, and sharing their passion for specialty coffee with customers. They strive to leave no detail unconsidered, from the partner farmers' seeds and soil to the final cup in the customer's hands, ensuring the highest quality and consistency in every roast.

By embracing the 49th Parallel Direct Trade Crop to Cup philosophy, the roasters work closely with farmers, providing ongoing feedback and assistance to foster sustainable relationships and deliver great coffee in every cup, with every roast, every time.
