Gourmet Old School Espresso Whole Beans

49th Parallel Coffee Roasters, based in Vancouver, British Columbia, is a specialty coffee company with 20 years of expertise. Their mission is to make exceptional, sustainably sourced coffee accessible to more people, fostering a spirit of discovery.

The company's Direct Trade philosophy is a commitment to building strong relationships with their coffee community, resulting in sustainable prices for one-of-a-kind coffees. This approach involves exploration and a mutually beneficial mechanism, with the goal of supporting the farmers they work with.

49th Parallel offers a range of roast levels, each designed to highlight different flavor profiles. Their light roasts emphasize the origin flavors, delivering bright, acidic, floral, and fruity notes. The dark roasts focus on roasting flavors, providing a bold taste with chocolate and caramel notes. The medium roasts balance body, flavor, aroma, and acidity, blending origin and roast characteristics.

The company's coffee is always shipped in whole bean form to ensure freshness. Their espresso roasts are crafted for high solubility, enhancing sweetness and body, while the filter roasts are optimized for drip or pour-over methods, ensuring the best flavor for filter coffee.

To achieve the best crema, 49th Parallel recommends using fresh, dark-roast coffee. They offer a variety of single-origin espresso and filter coffees, as well as organic certified options, all made with 100% arabica beans.

Caffeine content is primarily determined by the coffee's species, and since 49th Parallel uses only arabica beans, there is little variation in caffeine levels across their roast profiles.

One of 49th Parallel's flagship offerings is the Old School Espresso, a medium-dark roast that highlights the sweetness and body of the coffee. This traditional and best-selling espresso features notes of caramel, nuts, and dark chocolate, making it ideal for those who prefer low acidity and full body.

The company's commitment to quality and direct trade partnerships is evident in every step of their Crop to Cup philosophy. From selecting the finest beans to roasting in small batches and delivering the coffee fresh to customers, 49th Parallel strives to provide an exceptional coffee experience with every cup.
