TASTE

When Nektar’s roasting workshop was launched in 2018,  they have  wanted to create a blend flagship. An espresso blend that would be their best seller. After 10 years of selling other roasters’ coffees in their branches, they knew what they wanted. They were looking for notes of caramelized nuts and milk chocolate. An espresso that was easy to love, without amertume.  Soft,  not too strong, slightly daring. As much  general public that thirdwave.

We can say mission accomplished, it’s their best seller for over two years!

You will have a nice texture in the cup; it is created  to give a lot of cream. To taste: aattack of nuts, sweetness, and a chocolatey finish.

ORIGIN

This coffee is a blend of two origins: Colombia and Brazil. Nektar works closely with two producers to achieve results that meet their expectations.

Colombian coffee gives us the typical sweet side. It comes to us from a Quebec grower who has a coffee farm  in the Huila region.

Natural coffee from Brazil gives us the texture for the crema, the caramelized sugar and the chocolate. It is the farmer Jose Maria who provides them with his naturally dried beans.

ROASTING

This blend is not dark roasted. We want  keep  complexity, rediscover the sweet side, without  the side of smoke or bitter cocoa.

It is a little more developed than their Harvest series coffees. Enough to make the coffee porous, for maximum texture gain.

TASTING

Specially designed for espresso, from simple short to large latte.  This is Nektar Caféologue’s regular coffee. The everyday coffee that allows you to start the day pleasantly.  overexcited.

It is also the coffee with which they make their  cold brew recipe.

This is an easy blend to extract. You will get a beautiful result no matter how good your machine is.

💁🏻‍♀️ NEKTAR ROASTER

At the very beginning of the adventure, in 2009,  Nektar has  set out to introduce the world of specialty coffee to the general public. They offered over twenty third-wave roasters in their small space in the St-Roch district of Quebec City, but according to them, something was missing. They wanted to share their knowledge with you and discover everything new that was happening in the world of coffee growing, but they had to navigate through the offer of their roasting partners who did not offer the full scope of what they aspired to.

This is why in 2018, they chose to take the plunge into the world of roasting, to offer you more exploration, their vision, their DNA.

The world of coffee is evolving at a lightning speed and several drying techniques, several terroirs and coffee growers deserve to be put forward more than they are currently.

They have decided to offer you an experience of discovery without prejudice, with a traceability approach from the farm to the cup. This is what allows them to actively participate in the sustainable development of producing countries. More and more of you are discovering their coffees and this allows them to exchange and build relationships with more than twenty producers per year.

They are still as passionate as they were in 2009 and their curiosity is no longer in doubt. If there is a new technique being used, a new cultivar being crossed or a farm experimenting with its harvest, they have probably reserved a part of that lot. Exploring and making you discover the fruit of their research is their greatest pleasure.

This enthusiasm is accompanied by a crucial element: respect for all the humans behind every farm, every bean harvested, roasted and every cup of coffee you hold in your hands.

Let’s explore together, with respect.

Karen Ludwig, roaster and Guillaume Michaud, co-owner.
