Sissiboo Coffee Roaster

Our mission is to build sustainable communities, with a primary focus on rural sustainability, both locally and globally. We are FLO certified and carry only Fair Trade, Organic beans. We have been roasting since 2009, opening our first café in 2014 and our second in 2015. Our cafés, that include two art galleries, serve as both economic and community hubs in the Annapolis Valley. Our fundraising partnerships support local sports and activities throughout Atlantic Canada- Coffee roasting is an intricate blend of art and science, influenced by the collective effort of coffee producers worldwide. Before reaching Canadian shores, immense dedication goes into cultivating, harvesting, and preparing the beans. As one of the world's most traded commodities, the fair trade movement has been instrumental in combating inequality and improving the lives of farmers, their families, and their communities. By valuing fairer prices for green beans, we honor the interconnectedness of rural economies between coffee farmers and the people of rural Nova Scotia, resulting in an unparalleled taste experience in every cup. Upon arrival at 1890 Clementsvale Rd, each batch of beans undergoes meticulous observation through the senses. The roaster engages in an intimate relationship with the beans, their eyes, nose, hands, and ears attuned to the nuances of the roasting process. It is a delicate dance of sugars, acids, intuition, and experimentation—a symphony of flavors orchestrated with utmost care.
