The Upside Blend
The Upside Show on CHEK 6 started as a great idea to showcase positive stories in the community and around the world as a way to bring some levity and smiles to their viewers. It then became a tie-in with local businesses who were trying to adapt at the time how COVID-19 was impacting the business community. Ed and Jeff have created a reputation for bring awareness to a number of unique small businesses and in celebration of their efforts, we’ve partnered with The Upside to create a unique blend of coffee, exclusively sold at Fresh Cup Roastery Café. The Upside Blend is the combination of 3 single-origin organic beans roasted to perfection, then artisan blended so all of their best characteristics shine through in the cup.
Roastery Cafes
The Roastery Café is the next evolution of the coffee house. Roastaire's 'Theatre of Roasting' transforms any café or grocery store into a specialty roasting destination — opening new revenue streams and creating a powerful point of difference in a competitive market.
In-house micro-roasting has become a gastronomic art, much like micro-brewing. Today's consumers demand nuanced flavours and true freshness, and Roastaire™ delivers exactly that — an experience they can taste in the cup, see in action, and take home in bean form.
Designed for virtually any café, Roastaire's compact, elegant stainless-steel design suits high-density urban locations with minimal emissions and significant energy savings. At 30 lbs. per hour — up to 180 lbs. per session — it's a serious engine for retail bean sales, housed in a roaster elegant enough to sit front-of-house as a centrepiece of your café experience.
Bourbon Cask Conditioned Nitro Cold Brew
For the past three years, Fresh Cup has innovated with Nitro Cold Brew well-ahead of the large coffee chains that have decided to make it popular. Found in both in our Saanichton and Panorama locations, you will find our Award-Winning Nitro Cold Brew, consisting of our unique Bourbon Cask Conditioned craft beans, as one of the 3 varieties used to make this incredibly smooth and refreshing beverage. This cold brew is so convincing, you’ll swear you just pulled yourself a glass of chocolatey Guinness, but it’s even better, it’s coffee!
cask conditioned
Promising unique new taste experiences for coffee lovers, cask conditioned craft coffee beans are deeply infused with carefully chosen ingredients, conditioned in oak casks, and then roasted in small batches. Some highly successful Roastaire™ roasted infusions have included bourbon, amber rum, and honey-mead wine, which recently scored an impressive 93 Points from Coffee Review. This roast received tasting notes describing it as ‘fruit-toned spirits, crisp roasted cacao nib in aroma and cup, velvety mouth feel, long persistent finish’. Roastaire™ technology enables the precision roasting needed to optimize the flavour of each new variety of infused beans offering flavour qualities that are often unexpected, and are always rich, complex and full of subtle nuances.
single-serve freshness
Available in-store only at Saanichton and Panorama Ridge. Freshly Brewed is not good enough! Fresh Cup started roasting coffee with one simple goal in mind: redefine the standard of true freshness, from bean to cup.
We small-batch roast organic coffees using our patented Roastaire™ closed-loop technology. Roasting beans in a clean stream of hot air nurtures the aromatics and elevates the regional flavour characteristics of each single-origin bean or blend.
Our name is the promise we make to your coffee experience and we hope you enjoy our innovative approach to single-serve coffee, roasted and ground for real-time freshness and consistency.
freshly roasted hazelnuts
Hands down *the best* hazelnuts you will try, we roast them to perfection in our #Roastaire coffee roaster. Air-roasted hazelnuts yields a super sweet nutty tasty that makes you want to come back for more. Sourced locally from Wade’s Hazelnut farm in the beautiful town of #Chemainus, on Vancouver Island. They only come around through the fall and winter, so be sure to grab some before they're gone. Did You Know: Hazelnuts are high in HDL (high density lipoproteins)? Also a great snack for diabetics. They come in a 100g bag… exclusively at Fresh Cup Café locations.
