This is going to be a bit of a strange review, because I have actually never been here. And yet the Coffee Tree Roastery (CTR) is an integral part of my everyday.
They have the most amazing thing called the "Coffee Club" where they mail me fresh roasted espresso beans each and every month so that I can enjoy them at home. They also have a regular coffee club for those that prefer drop coffee. And all of their coffees are organic/fair trade.
Each month I get 1 lb of freshly roasted CTR house blend that is so smooth and flavourful (a chocolate undertone) and very little acidity. And I get 1 lb of something else. The coffees come from all over the world and range in value (loved my holiday gift of Kona from Hawaii).
Each package also contains tips and directions to make "the perfect cup", storage information, recipes and more. Customer service is fantastic and you can tell when you read Su's letters and emails that she is truly passionate about what she does.
I have to say the best way to wake up and start your day is drinking a cup of java made from freshly roasted and ground beans - in the comfort of my own home. Since I am too lazy to roast my own... this is truly the next best thing.
I do intend to make the trek to their actual location some day but for now, I am content to start my day with CTR.
