Bean North Coffee Roasting's blog

Our café-in-the-woods is now open 7 days a week! Visit us for quality time on our sunny patio and enjoy the colourful flowers in our garden while sipping a delicious latte. Yukon summer at its best!!

We at Bean North believe that being a self-proclaimed and widely-recognized Fair Trade company means we need to honestly and openly fulfill every aspect of Fair Trade, which is much more than just a higher price. First and foremost, Fair Trade is a long-term, equitable partnership between farmers and roasters. Total transparency allows all actors to operate at the same level, without concealing anything, which is an essential part of what Fair Trade should and can be.

We are proud to be involved with Fair Trade Proof, an online transparency tool that allows the user to view every piece of paperwork involved in bringing coffee from farmer to roaster. Without proof, anyone can say anything. This site is part of Bean North's effort (together with our friends at Cooperative Coffees) to provide total transparency in the coffee importation process.

We have wonderful Mother's Day gifts available in our online store. Use the discount code MOTHERSDAY on selected products to receive 15% off!
