This coffee with well-balanced aromas is the result of a unique collaboration between La Maison Smith and Carlos Antonio Peña Vela, who for 12 years has been harvesting strawberries on Île d'Orléans, at the Onésime Pouliot farm. From the importation of the raw material to the roasting, passing through the marketing, it is a turnkey formula that was built especially for Carlos and his coffee, by La Maison Smith. Carlos produces specialty coffee, as opposed to convenience coffees. The advantages of this type of coffee are linked in particular to the fact that the coffee is "traceable", which ensures, among other things, the good treatment of producers and their employees, which is part of a vision of sustainable development. On the other hand, the beans of these coffees are of a better quality, ensuring a better aroma and a better controlled acidity.

FAQ
Our coffees are roasted daily during the week. A sticker on the bottom of the bag indicates the roasting date.
The only coffees that may have a slightly oily appearance are the 1653, the Charles Smith and the Champs de Bataille, due to their dark roast.
To preserve the freshness of your Smith coffee, we recommend storing it in its original airtight, thick, and opaque bag (or a similar container) in a dark, dry place. Under these conditions, your Smith coffee can stay fresh for up to 3 months.
Note that ground coffee does not keep as long as whole bean coffee.
