any questions?
-
How long before I receive my order?
For orders in Montreal, please allow 3 to 4 business days after placing your order. For the rest of Quebec, please allow 3 to 5 business days. We roast and prepare orders every day, and always ship them in priority order to minimize delays! 🙂
-
Are your coffees organic or fairtrade?
Some of our producers have these certifications, yes—but our uncertified coffees consistently exceed Fairtrade standards, and are often organic nonetheless. Certifications are expensive to obtain, especially for small and medium-sized producers, and dismissing a coffee simply because the farm can't afford certification goes against our core values. Our priority is therefore to understand the real conditions of cultivation and remuneration on the farm, whether they are certified or not.
-
Are the bags actually compostable?
Yes, our bags are certified compostable at home or in the factory. In home composting, they decompose more than 90% in less than 6 months. In a factory, with the right equipment, they decompose in less than 90 days. For comparison, a bag of the same type but made from regular plastic takes more than 1,000 years to fully decompose.
-
What does carbon-neutral deliveries mean?
In Montreal, we deliver almost exclusively by bicycle. On the North Shore and South Shore, we generally deliver by electric vehicle. For all other regions where deliveries by bicycle or electric vehicle are impossible, we use traditional carriers, but we offset the emissions required for these deliveries twice. At the end of each year, we compile all of these deliveries with the invaluable help of LCL environnement, and reimburse everything for a sustainable reforestation program in Northern Quebec.

I'm new to specialty coffee, where do I start?
If you're new to the wonderful world of specialty coffee, welcome! You can expect coffee that's less bitter, more complex, and may even challenge what you thought coffee tasted like. If you like your coffee extra strong, start with our dark blend, Pantera. If you're craving an espresso like the one you drink at your favorite third wave coffee shop, grab our Toucan blend. And if you're looking for something different and fruitier, try our fruity blend, Bat Macumba.

I'm a coffee geek, what do you have for me?
We've got a lot of things for you, you've come to the right place. Our pop-up coffees are constantly changing, and we have a lot of fun selecting and profiling them. You'll find less common origins, trippy washing processes, fruit, floral, and funky flavors! Also check out our nanolots, the black bags, for which we exclusively reserve sublime coffees, for the curious and the well-informed.
-
Do you deliver outside of Quebec?
No. It's part of our environmental mission to minimize the delivery radius.
