Our Coffee and their Accents

The experience of a virtuoso cup of coffee begins with the nut-brown aroma and the anticipation of the first taste which ignites the taste buds and percolates through the pleasure centers to bring us that much closer to heaven. A great cup of coffee can be exquisitely satisfying, but a superior brew will simply stir the soul. These beans are flavor buds awaiting your self-indulgence.

While coffee remains one of our enduring pleasures, it also contributes to robust health and a longer life. The secret sauce is in the antioxidants. Locally roasted and packaged with tender loving care, We Love Vancouver© coffee beans are selected from among the highest quality international varieties. And in keeping with We Love Vancouver’s mission, a portion of each and every purchase is donated to a local charity.

We decided to include coffee in our portfolio of quality food products because it is so quintessentially Vancouver. Coffee, bistros, healthy lifestyle, natural foods, and leisurely conversations with friends are part of Vancouver’s DNA. And coffee is a natural exotic delectation containing an abundance of anti-oxidants. We also decided to roast our coffee beans locally, rather than import them from South America fully processed. This brings the "freshness" quality of the coffee closer to your home and table.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the different type of coffee drinks?

Which coffee is stronger light or dark roast?

Coffee roasting does not affect the amount of caffeine in the bean. However, roasting is the biggest factor in the flavor of the coffee. Darker roasts are roasted longer than light roasts and may be “bolder” because the coffee has less fiber content and a sweeter flavor. Lighter roasts consequently have a stronger taste because the aromatic oils and acids in the bean have not been eliminated in the roasting process. Also chaff from the bean may be added to darker roasts to soak up the aromatic oils.

What roast of coffee is the strongest?

According to the Coffee Detective website, dark-roasted coffee may taste stronger, but it actually contains less caffeine than light or medium roast brews ¹. This is because the roasting process burns off some of the caffeine content in the bean. So the answer depends on whether you mean the amount of caffeine in the cup of coffee or the subjective taste of the brew.

Several factors contribute to the subjective taste aspect, such as how you brew your coffee (a percolator generally produces stronger tasting coffee), and the amount of water you add.

Coffee Detective concludes: "If you want to brew the strongest, boldest brew possible, choose a coffee with a high-caffeine content, get it medium-roasted, make it in a quality coffee brewer and get the proportion of coffee grinds to water just right."

Which coffee is healthiest?

Recent research demonstrates that coffee is healthy for the human body in many ways, all the way up to 4 cups a day. This is primarily due to the levels of antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds contained in coffee. Scientists believe that coffee helps prevent type 2 diabetes, liver disease, and improves heart function. But do the various roasts differ in their beneficial health effects? Recent experiments on mice yielded the following results: light roast coffees have the best health benefits with decreasing results as the roasts become darker. It is thought that a longer roasting process depletes the beans of chorogenic acid which is the compound with the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. ²
