COFFEE
|
After tasting over a dozen of Vancouver's most popular and highly recommended fair-trade coffees, we are proud to have chosen the very best in taste that will satisfy even the most fussy coffee-connoisseur's palate.
Ordinary "non-coffee-hound" folks will simply find it delicious! Mogiana espresso pairs beautifully with our our gourmet fair-trade Belgian dark chocolate. The Mogiana story is captivating, and complements our brand: "In 1890 our great, great grandparents planted their first coffee crop at the family’s farm in Brazil. The high altitude and lush volcanic soil of the Mogiana valley produces Arabica beans of the highest quality. Five generations have carried on the family tradition, perfecting the art of growing award-winning coffees. We hand-pick beans known for their profound aromas, rich taste and pleasantly smooth finish. And, as conscientious employers and proud stewards of the environment, our farming practices reflect our commitment to social responsibility and sustainability." |

Mogiana Coffee is UTZ certified which is one step better than "organic." UTZ certification is for coffee suppliers who are both committed to sustainable agriculture and who treat their workers and families with care and respect. Among other things, this means that workers and farmers are fairly compensated for their work and/or crops.
The Mogiana family has built a home for every worker family, a school and a playground on its farm. Christine Mogiana (daughter of the Brazillian farmer) from Richmond, BC, imports the coffee directly and roasts it locally.

Our Espresso Machine
We have purchased a Nuova Simonelli Appia two-group machine that's been nicely broken-in (seasoned) for the past year. This is not an automated machine (like those in Franchise shops) - our talented baristas will pull the espressos themselves.

TEA
Two Leaves Tea Company
Half of the Spiritual Ingredients team are coffee connoisseurs. The other half are just as fussy about tea! Of course with our earth-friendly brand we had to find a fair-trade tea company that was also committed to sustainable agriculture. And the tea had to be delicious. That took some doing, and a lot of tea tasting. But we are very excited to have decided on "Two Leaves Tea Company." You have to taste these delicious teas to believe they exist. Watch out though - you may get addicted and have to keep visiting our coffee house (aka tea house) all year long!
Our Chai Lattes are made with Tazo brand fair-trade all-natural Chai Tea (not flavoured syrup as in many coffee houses) Tazo acquires its high-quality tea leaves from 29 different countries in Africa, Asia and South America -- including the Darjeeling and Assam regions of India, where Tazo has partnered with Mercy Corps to improve the living conditions of villages in the tea-producing regions.
