Coffee Review – Salt Spring Coffee Co.
Related entries in Coffee ReviewsSalt Spring Coffee Co. is a micro roaster over on Salt Spring, obviously. Salt Spring serves Fair Trade and Organic coffee:
Salt Spring Coffee Co.â„¢ is dedicated to the art of fresh roasting top-grade specialty arabica coffee beans. These beans are specifically sourced from smaller farms and farmer run co-ops in the world’s finest organic and shade grown coffee producing regions
Presently, we have one café on Salt Spring Island and roast all our coffee at our main roasting facility, also located on the island. Our fresh roasted coffee is distributed off island to Victoria, Vancouver Island, Vancouver and the Lower Mainland, across Canada and internationally.
It’s not too far distant from that of Ethical Beans. The quality is definitely on par. They are perhaps more settled in their business model, but that has no effect on the coffee beans themselves. There was no espresso-based beverages to try, but I was impressed with the quality of the drip. It’s hard to have a good drip and to keep it fresh tasting while stored.
Their website is nicely done, and includes a great little e-commerce module. When I visit Salt Spring this summer, I hope to set up a visit to the roasting house.
I love those tiny little cups. So adorable. Once again, a display that just blew my mind. I love that they took so much time on the details and really set it out like a mini cafe. Tons of branding going on. Way to go!

On Salt Spring drinking coffee is a job, not a hobby! And if you catch the ferry from the Mainland to Long Harbour on Salt Spring they proudly serve Roasting Co. coffee on board.
Man, now I need a cup and they’re closed! :)

I just wish Salt Spring would push more on freshness, which they say they do, but they don’t. I see stores and cafe’s stocked to the hilt with coffee that will surely go stale long before it reaches the cup. Basic lessons in coffee purchasing: 1. don’t buy coffee when you don’t know the roast date (should be within 10 days max) and 2. buy direct from the roaster or a shop, get closer to the source where you know it will be fresh. 99% of supermarket coffee is plainly stale.
