49th Parallel Coffee Roasters

Made my periodic trip down to Vancouver today to pick up supplies and dropped in on my friends at 49th Parallel to see what was up. Here are some pictures of their setup...it is really quite impressive. These guys are quickly gaining international recognition as being one of the top roasters in North America and you'll know why as soon as you taste their product!..

Tasty!!

We are stoked to be working with such amazing folks and spreading the love of fine coffee to Pembertonians.

“We love creating something from organic. We have to take this green coffee that is grown thousands of miles away, we bring it in and then we have to develop it into something fine that our customers will love. We roast and sample every coffee that comes in here. Absolutely every coffee has to be cupped.”

Kicking it off... Pemby style!

The Grand Opening festivities went off without a hitch at the MC Coffee Co. The evening was filled with amazing music by Trish Jamieson, tastey finger food, beer, wine, and of course great coffee. A huge thanks to all who have showed so much support in the first few months of operation!
