Blue Heron - Salt Spring Coffee (400g)
Regular price $17.99Regular priceUnit price / perTasting Notes
Milk Chocolate, Nutty, CitrusCertifications
Organic, Fair TradeOrigins
Latin America, IndonesiaNamed for the majestic birds found in Salt Spring Island’s Blue Heron Rookery, this medium-dark blend is unassuming one minute and bold the next—just like its namesake.
Our Blue Heron is a dynamic coffee that’s full of contradictions: it’s both sweet and spicy, nutty and bright.
The taste profile of this blend changes dramatically depending on the brew method, so it’s an excellent candidate for experimentation. The good news is you’ll end up with a tasty cup no matter how you brew. But if forced to pick favourites, we’ll choose the intense, snappy flavour of an Aeropress every time.About Salt Spring Coffee
Inspired by the Salt Spring Island way of life, founders Mickey McLeod and Robbyn Scott embarked on a journey to bring sustainable coffee to their community.
In their quest for coffee that was environmentally friendly and fair to farmers, they built long-term partnerships with producers to source organic, shade-grown, fair trade coffee.
In 1996 Salt Spring Coffee opened its first roastery cafe on Salt Spring Island, BC. After years of success, we expanded into a larger roasting facility in Greater Vancouver to better serve our customers.
Twenty-five years later we are still family-owned and operated, and our aspirations remain the same: To be change makers through coffee – doing our part to make the world a better place. -

About Wychbury Ave
In 2011, I biked over 2000 km on a cycling tour with thirteen other women on The Otesha Project to teach communities about environmental sustainability and social justice. After delivering over 30 performances about how to reduce unnecessary plastics in our everyday life and prevent human rights abuses, I wanted to put those solutions into practice and decided to make my own bath and body products with fair trade and ethically sourced ingredients, using only plastic-free and reusable packaging. In 2014, in the middle of a maternity leave from teaching, I transformed my basement into a soap-making studio and joined a community of like-minded individuals who were starting a farmers market.
Starting with tiny batches of only 7 bars at a time, I made, cut and packaged each batch myself, printing my own labels and learning the ins and outs of business as I went. I found a used bicycle trailer, and started towing my entire market setup back and forth to the Esquimalt Farmers Market each Thursday, began stocking local shops in Victoria with my soaps, and I’m now selling from my online shop at www.wychburyave.com, and at over 12 retailers on Vancouver Island. My dream began as a mission to show others how to enjoy the products we love while reducing waste and caring for people and the planet at the same time. I continue to provide vegan, palm oil-free, and fair trade products through my shop and educate others through workshops and daily insights on social media. Come join me! Let’s plant those seeds and be the change together. -

About Taco Revolution
Ixim was started as a passion project by Michelle Paez and PJ Frayne out of their small home kitchen on Gabriola Island in 2015. Having returned to Canada from living abroad in South America, they missed the wonderful tortillas and other fresh foods that they had become accustomed to. Searching grocery stores all over Vancouver Island, they couldn't find a corn tortilla that came close to what was commonly available in Mexico. So, they purchased a small tortilla press and started making their own.
Several members in their new Island community heard about the tortillas that PJ and Michelle were making, and invited the couple to set up a booth at the Gabriola Farmer's market. The tortillas were an instant hit, and the passion project quickly turned into a hobby business. Within a year, Ixim Foods Inc was incorporated and was selling tortillas from 4 different farmer's markets around the Island. But tortillas weren't enough. People wanted ready-to-eat tacos! Beginning in the second year, the Taco Revolution food truck was built and put into service. It was a huge hit and quickly attracted a large following. Ixim Foods was no longer a hobby business.
The building of a commissary kitchen quickly followed, and with it an expanded product line. Over the course of the last few years, Taco Revolution has grown to become a highly regarded and recognized brand of Mexican Food products on Vancouver Island. And we continue to grow. -

After delivering over 30 performances about how to reduce unnecessary plastics in our everyday life and prevent human rights abuses, I wanted to put those solutions into practice and decided to make my own bath and body products with fair trade and ethically sourced ingredients, using only plastic-free and reusable packaging. In 2014, in the middle of a maternity leave from teaching, I transformed my basement into a soap-making studio and joined a community of like-minded individuals who were starting a farmers market.
Starting with tiny batches of only 7 bars at a time, I made, cut and packaged each batch myself, printing my own labels and learning the ins and outs of business as I went. I found a used bicycle trailer, and started towing my entire market setup back and forth to the Esquimalt Farmers Market each Thursday, began stocking local shops in Victoria with my soaps, and I’m now selling from my online shop at www.wychburyave.com, and at over 12 retailers on Vancouver Island. My dream began as a mission to show others how to enjoy the products we love while reducing waste and caring for people and the planet at the same time. I continue to provide vegan, palm oil-free, and fair trade products through my shop and educate others through workshops and daily insights on social media. Come join me! Let’s plant those seeds and be the change together. -

About Soupa Cafe
Not All Heroes Wear Capes... Some Make Soup.

Like a delicious, nutritious, and rightfully ambitious Russian Doll, Soupa Cafe is more than just the healthiest fast food option around Victoria.
Since 2016, Soupa Café has been making soup (duh) as well as scrumptious sandwiches, wraps, salads, build your own burritos and quesadillas, ice coffee and so much more, most of which is actually – wait for it – good for you! With a focus on community health and wellness in its entirety, Soupa Cafe is committed to filling bellies with only the best healthy fast food meals of goodness, with gluten-free options and a dedicated vegan menu available.
Once you’ve eaten through the first coating of Soupa Cafe’s multi-layered qualities, you’ll find that their hearts are even bigger than their stomachs. Soupa Cafe has been devoted to their community in transformative ways both big and small. From helping a regular customer fill up their gas tank, to providing free meals to the community, to taking an active role in community events such as sponsoring junior hockey and community driven clean-ups – Soupa Cafe truly does lay its best qualities out on the table.
The cafe’s latest community event, The Gift of Music, aims to inspire a passion for music in the young kids of their community. Their goal is to get as many instruments as possible into the hands of kids before Christmas, with the intention of bringing these children and their families the warmth and joy found only through the sound of music.
So, if you’re looking for healthy fast food, people to exchange ideas with on how to help the community, or simply a new place to visit with its own unique quirks and charms – then Soupa Cafe’s doors are just as wide open as their hearts.
