December 2024: Expedition Coffee Roasters
We are thrilled to close out the year by welcoming Expedition Coffee Roasters to the Secret Sip Coffee Club family! Based in Falmouth, the heart of Nova Scotia, Expedition Coffee Roasters perfectly captures the spirit of adventure in every cup. Founded by passionate explorers with a love for both the outdoors and great coffee, Expedition was born from a simple idea: that every sip should spark curiosity, connection, and a sense of discovery. Straight from the owner, Aaron: “At Expedition Coffee Roasters, our latest addition of a P05e electric roaster from Probat exemplifies this shift, offering a clean, controlled, and future-proof roasting method. This following explores the reasons why electric roasting is superior to gas-powered roasting, emphasizing sustainability, flavour consistency, workplace safety, air quality improvements, and health considerations.”
Expedition’s roasting philosophy is rooted in craftsmanship and authenticity. They believe coffee should tell a story—of its origin, its growers, and the journey it takes from bean to cup. By sourcing from ethical producers around the world and roasting in small batches on Canada’s East Coast, Expedition Coffee ensures each roast captures the unique character of the beans while maintaining the integrity of the land and people behind them.
This month, we’re delighted to feature Expedition’s “Fazenda Bau” Brazilian—a custom roast that embodies the roaster’s love of exploration and their meticulous approach to balance and flavor. This roast combines is a medium level that strikes harmony between brightness and body. The result is a smooth, layered cup with notes of milk chocolate, Biscuit, and toasted hazelnut, finishing with a gentle sweetness that lingers just long enough to remind you of your favorite winter mornings.
Roasted in small batches on the South Shore of Nova Scotia, this blend is crafted to celebrate the Canadian outdoors—from coastal hikes to quiet cabin mornings. Expedition’s team carefully monitors each roast, using a data-driven yet artisanal process to bring out the distinct tasting notes of each origin. The result is a consistent, full-bodied cup that feels both familiar and exciting—a true reflection of their motto: “Coffee for the Curious.”
