For the past three years Salt Spring Coffee has been a key sponsor at the EPIC Sustainability Expo. This year proved to be the perfect opportunity to introduce our new Brand Identity, a first in line of Micro-Lot coffees from our Coffee's of Distinction Program and some pretty cool sustainability initiatives.
For starters, we launched the first of a series of new Micro-Lot coffees beginning with FincaNevado Sarasara, produced by one of our award winning farmers Jesus Viña who is from the Pangoa Co-op in Peru. This coffee's delicious chocolate and walnut flavours, savory body and smooth lingering finish won the hearts of attendees. Sold only at the show and now available exclusively through our cafés, we will be offering new Micro-Lot coffees on a fairly regular basis so keep your eyes open for these beauties. To learn more about new coffees, how you can purchase them and other worthy coffee news, join us on our Twitter and/or Facebook accounts for updates (see addresses below).
