Coffee is one of the easiest gifts to get right, as long as you match it to how the person actually drinks it. Here is a simple guide to choosing a specialty coffee gift in Canada, with picks by taste.
For the espresso and latte lover
Notr 001 Colombia Huila is a medium roast with milk chocolate, panela, almond and fresh orange. Its sweetness pairs naturally with steamed milk, and it suits espresso and filter brewing.
For someone who enjoys bright, fruity coffee
Notr 002 Kenya AA Plus is a medium roast with citrus, stone fruit and floral, tea-like notes. Notr 004 Ethiopia Yirgacheffe is a light roast with blueberry, citrus and floral notes, made for pour over and filter.
For someone who likes sweet and rich
Notr 003 El Salvador Cuzcachapa is a medium roast with raisin, molasses and pomegranate, with a long, clean finish.
For the commuter
The Notr Light Mug is a 12 oz insulated mug with a 304 stainless steel body that keeps drinks at temperature for up to 3 hours. It pairs well with a bag of coffee.
Tips for choosing
- Check how they brew. Our coffees are whole bean, so the person needs a grinder. If you are unsure, a medium roast is the most forgiving starting point.
- Pair a bag with a mug. It makes a complete gift.
- Choose by taste, not by origin. Our guide to choosing a single-origin coffee explains the differences.
