What I'm Drinking: JJBean

I’ve chosen JJBean as the supplier of my morning coffee beans for a couple years now. Whether out of a moka pot, aeropress, or french press, beans from JJBean never cease to keep my taste buds occupied while the rest of me attempts to kickstart my day. If purchased at one of the local cafes around Vancouver the beans will have been freshly roasted, usually in the past couple days. If there was ever doubt the roasting date is conveniently printed on the bottom of every bag. Furthermore, the single origin beans offer a nice range of flavors and a simple rotation is enough to stave off boredom.

As a brand JJBean remain true to self despite having grown to a considerable size. The local coffee shops still seem to cater to the community they exist in, the beans are still roasted in small batches and always fresh, and the quality of the beans is still evident in the taste. In short, for a large regional roaster I’ve been pleasantly surprised with their product and have yet to be presented with a reason to eject them from my coffee rotation.
