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!
Jimmy was born and raised a farmer. He has always admired the beautiful work of producing coffee. As he grew up in the industry, he worked along other coffee growers, learning and innovating together. About 10 years ago, he learned about different varietals, which lead him to decide on planting a coffee with very exotic characteristics and a smooth finish just like tea. The variety was Geisha. Having already tried this variety in the past, he wanted his to stand out. So he began to implement several types of fermentation. The end result of these experimental processing methods was an experience superior to anything he had experienced previously.
Each cherry is picked for over ripe cherries, followed by floating and sorting which Jimmy says is an important steps as it aids in the fermentation time. The first fermentation occurs for 10-12 hours before cherries are pulped. This is followed by the coffee sitting in water for 2 hours. Lastly, the coffee is anaerobic fermented for 72 hours in plastic barrels. The coffee is then dried for 30 days, slow drying with shadow covering.
This variety was originally collected from coffee forests in Ethiopia in the 1930s. From there, it was sent to the Lyamungu research station in Tanzania, and then brought to Centro Agronómico Tropical de Investigación y Enseñanza (CATIE) in Central America in the 1953, where it was logged as accession T2722. It was distributed throughout Panama via CATIE in the 1960s after it had been recognized for tolerance to coffee leaf rust. However, the plant's branches were brittle and not favored by farmers so it was not widely planted. The coffee came to prominence in 2005 when the Peterson family of Boquete, Panama, entered it into the "Best of Panama" competition and auction. It received exceptionally high marks and broke the then-record for green coffee auction prices, selling for over $20/pound.There is significant confusion about Geisha because there are multiple genetically distinct plant types that have been referred to as Geisha, many of which share similar geographic origins in Ethiopia. Recent genetic diversity analyses conducted by World Coffee Research confirm that Panamanian Geisha descendent from T2722 is distinct and uniform. It is associated with extremely high cup quality when the plants are managed well at high altitude, and is known for its delicate floral, jasmine, and peach-like aromas.
