New seasonal coffees have landed! This time, we’re featuring two coffees from Joyabaj, Guatemala. Same region, same harvest, different processing methods.

🍯 Honey Process: maraschino cherry, chocolate ganache, and caramel candy.

🍈 Natural Process: guava, melon, and chocolate cake.

Grown by more than 1,500 smallholder farmers and processed through the community-run Joyabaj Wet Mill, these coffees are a great example of how much processing can shape flavour.

The Joyabaj project was created to support specialty coffee production in a region with generations of Indigenous coffee-growing knowledge. We’re excited to share these coffees and the story behind them.

Available now online and at the roastery.

We’re hiring a Delivery Driver! 🚐☀️🌈

After 5 years with us, our incredible driver is moving on to a new chapter, which means we’re looking for someone new to join the team.

This role is mostly focused on delivering coffee to our wholesale customers around the Lower Mainland, with the occasional helping hand around the roastery.

If you’re reliable, organized, and enjoy being on the road, we’d love to hear from you.

Full posting on our website.

Freshly brewed coffee at home is still our favourite way to drink coffee. But sometimes you’re camping, hiking, staying somewhere with terrible hotel coffee, running late, or just needing an emergency coffee stash at work. That’s where these come in.

Our new single serve coffees are available as brew sachets and pour over packs. Not a replacement for brewing coffee properly, but a really good option for the moments when that’s just not happening.

Throw a few in your backpack, suitcase, glove compartment, or desk drawer.

We’re moving!!

You might have noticed the not-so-beautiful “for lease” sign outside the roastery covering way too much of our mural. Fear not, we’re not going far! We’re moving just a block down the street to a bigger, brighter, better space.

At the moment, we’re just waiting on City permits, but if all goes smoothly, we should be welcoming you into the new space by the end of summer or early fall. Please cross your fingers for us that permits come through without delays. 🤞🏽

We’re so excited and can’t wait to show you the new space soon.

And in the meantime… sorry about the eyesore outside our doors 😅

Inabel, holding the final product of his work that started long before it reached us at the roastery. Coffee is built on time, care, and a lot of effort that remains out of sight for many of us, but it is what matters most. Moments like this bring it back into focus. ❤️

Our newest seasonal release is here. 💃🏽

Grown by Maritza Manchay at Finca La Lima in San Ignacio, Cajamarca, this lot brings together Marshell and Geisha varieties, fully washed and sun-dried at high elevation.

It’s a clean, balanced cup easy to come back to.

Available now.

Agro turns 10 this month.

I remember standing outside the tiny roastery down the street from our home and peeking through the windows when it was for sale. At the time it felt both completely unrealistic and somehow inevitable.

A lot of people have been part of this story over the last decade. Staff, friends, customers, family, community partners. Many of them started in one category and ended up in another. ❤️

It feels extra special that in the year we celebrate ten years, we’re getting ready to move into our biggest space yet, still just down the street from where it all started. I can’t imagine leaving this neighbourhood.

Despite all the changes in our lives and in the world over these years, what keeps us going every day is the same thing it was in March 2016: to make really good coffee that is unpretentious and accessible.

Time to partyyy!

This is our first year working with Inabel Abad Jimenez, whom we met during our most recent visit to Aprocassi, in Peru. Inabel is a member of the co-op and has been doing thoughtful, impressive work on his farm.

Over the past few years, he has been renovating his farm and gradually replacing much of his Mundo Novo and Colombia plantings with Geisha. His farm sits at 1820 masl, and our photos don’t quite do it justice.

The evening we visited, we took a sample straight from the raised drying beds and cupped it the following morning. It was immediately clear how special it was, and we knew it would only get better with proper drying and rest.

When we asked how much he expected to produce, the answer was around ten 69kg bags, and we committed to purchasing the entire lot. The first few bags have just been released on the website.

We are really excited about this coffee and even more excited about the possibility of working with Inabel year after year. We cannot wait to see how this coffee and his farm continue to evolve. ❤️
