September Coffee | Golden Hour Pink Bourbon - Colombia

September Coffee Co is the lovechild of one of favourite coffee Youtubers Kyle Roswell. Kyle with his wife Natasha embody what we love about this industry. A transparent coffee company dedicated to bringing innovative and modern coffee flavours to the world. With an enduring work ethos, Kyle and Natasha run one of the most exciting roasters in Canada. Happy to be the first to carry September Coffee Co in Toronto. 

In their words:

We exist to highlight.

"we are a micro roastery in Canada's capital, Ottawa. we believe coffee is more than a caffeine fix. it's highlighting farmers, producers, processing methods, terroir, and variety that all work together to produce a quality result. our goal is to share coffees we love while highlighting this foundation"

Our approach.

"Our core mission at September is to share coffee we love. we are careful to source coffees that are not only delicious but source them direct or from importers that we believe live within the ethics of our values.

for our shower series we roast to highlight the work of producers while aiming for just enough development to allow a coffee to shine. this is how the larger majority of our menu is designed.

We also realize that not everyone is a fan of this style of coffee and we're not here to judge. In fact we believe many coffees benefit from a different roasting profile. We have our storm series for those who prefer coffees with added development for increased texture, colour and solubility while still highlighting a modern and delicate approach to coffee with great balance".†

We aim to offer all our coffees as soon as they arrive ensuring you receive them as close to their roast date as possible. However, September coffees shine 10 - 14 days after roast and keep up to 2 months. Best enjoyed slowly and thoughtfully.

Unreal coffee!

Rather than using standard anaerobic fermentation tanks he uses precise bio reactors to ferment the product measuring everything from time, temp, ph, sugar content and microbial load. The process of this profile begins with the proper harvesting of the coffee cherries, at an optimum point of ripeness.Then the coffee cherries are disinfected with ozone, and they are transferred to the cherry fermentation tanks, in which an anaerobic fermentation process is carried out for 72 hours submerged in water. Then the coffee is pulped and demucilaginated; the mucilage and pulp are taken to the pilot plant to carry out the production of the specific microorganisms of the process and generate the culture medium that contains the precursors of aromas and flavors produced in the fermentation, then this culture medium is added to the tanks fermentation for 36 hours to fix the precursors to the coffee beans through pressure. Then a thermal shock process is carried out to fix a greater amount of precursors and seal the coffee for a good drying process. Dried in a dehumidifier to remove humidity, preserving the soft notes of the coffee and avoiding the over-oxidation.
