It all started with, "I have an idea." That's how

It all started with, "I have an idea." That's how most of our great adventures start. One of us has an idea.

About five years ago, Mike had the idea for us to start roasting our own coffee in the backyard. Using a Whirly Pop Popcorn Maker and our barbecue side burner, he roasted 200g of green beans at a time for our use and to give to our rental suite guests.

In the middle of 2019, our next "great idea" was to start roasting coffee to sell at farmers' markets on the Coast. A way for us to share our passion with other enthusiasts and spend some time together.

We upgraded our roaster twice since the Whirley Pop and currently can roast 600g of coffee at once with the machine I call Joe. (Ha!)

Mike and I are always dreaming and thinking of the next "great idea" . . . but I think there is also value in seeing how far we've come. There have been many lessons learned and my troubleshooting skills are through the roof.

But mostly, we love that we can do and share what we love with our community.

In addition to our usual Guatemalan beans, we are now offering a Columbian bean for a limited time.

Our Columbian Buesaco (Narino) beans are from a micro-lot on the Lomo de Buey farm. These Arabica beans are fermented 28-36 hours, washed and sun-dried on raised beds for 16 days. The beans, traceable to the farm, have flavours of mandarine, pear with beautiful bright acidity and creamy body. Excellent in a French Press, pour-over, and espresso. Limited supply.

We roast these beans to two different levels: Vienna (dark) and Full City (medium).

Visit www.sweetstart.ca for more information and to order for delivery or pick-up on the lower Sunshine Coast!
