About the Coffee

CAFEDEHUILA is a cooperative in Huila, Colombia, where coffee farming has passed through generations of the same families. Farmers in the co-op grow Caturra and Castillo varieties at 1,600 meters above sea level, on land many have worked their whole lives.

The cherries are washed, a process where the fruit is removed before the beans are dried, giving the co-op consistent control over quality across its member farms. That consistency is what makes this coffee an easy, reliable pick for daily filter brewing, whatever method you use.

About Anchored

Zane Kelsall and Dean Petty started Anchored Coffee in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. Kelsall had owned and run cafés for years and wanted control of the coffee from the green bean to the cup. Petty came from selling craft beer. They raised money, did their research and opened as a roasting business straight away.

They roast on a 12-kilo Probat and record every roast in Cropster, a roasting software that stores each profile. Every bag is printed with its batch number and roast date, so each one can be traced to the roast it came from.

"Anchored is our first roaster featured from the Atlantic provinces. I sampled an Americano from Anchored while on a trip to Cape Breton this summer, and emailed them for samples before I got home. Anchored's lineup of coffees is extensive without being weird (that's a huge compliment), and it was a blast selecting these coffees for you."
