April 2020: Caffè Monte

Secret Sip Coffee Club is beyond ecstatic to formally reveal April’s Secret roasting partner who has outperformed the best in class with an unbelievable treat for our palettes. Roasting from 3800 feet above sea level in the scenic hamlet of Canmore, Alberta we present the specialty roaster, Caffe Monte.  Caffe Monte’s roots stem back from humble beginnings in 2014 with the continuous daily pursuit of the creation of the perfect fresh cup in an effort to share the end product throughout their locations across Canada.

At the center of our selection this month resides this outstanding family business where the owners still remain an integral component of the day to day operation and come together to serve not only premium coffee but understand the need for quality and consistency. The team is some of the most passionate partners we have ever encountered. The team works extremely closely with all nodes of their distribution channels to service cafes, restaurants, and the food service industry to create custom and unique programs that are lasting long lasting relationships.

Caffè Monte always roasts in small 25kg batches, this allows unparalleled attention to the details of each order and amazing quality control. This small volume creates an opportunity to meticulously monitor coffee selection and roasting. Prior to roasting, the team combs each batch to ensure that any defective beans are removed; ensuring clean, discernible flavours. Larger roasters simply lack the ability to tightly control all variables during the roast.

April’s secret was the team’s delectable single origin from Coasta Rica – Café Tarrazu. A naturally processed and eco-pulped beauty exhibiting a velvety texture with an upfront milk chocolate and coffee crisp note blended with a perfect crisp chocolate covered berry finish.

Secret Sip Coffee Club is so pleased to have partnered with Caffe Monte to bring you this month's secret roast, and what we believe to be, one of Canada’s best coffees. To learn more about Caffe Monte, check out their website below:
