Coffee Bean Roasting

Transcend works extemely hard at building relationships with the producers that grow our coffee. We believe in long-term relationships that are mutually beneficial and ensure that producers obtain some of the best prices for coffee paid anywhere. All of our hard work, coupled to the producers extraordinary toil, requires that we exercise the highest standards when it comes to roasting the coffee, so that it celebrates the exceptional quality that we find.

After finding these rare coffee farmers who take great care to produce amazing coffee, we do everything we can to roast their coffee in a way that gently coaxes all the complex flavours and nuances out of the bean and into the cup.

We’ve roasted some coffees more than 50 different ways in order to discover the perfect roast profile. To us, coffee roasting is a subtle art. It takes a keen palate , creativity and a lot of hard work and dedication to come up with a roast profile that will highlight the most delicate notes of a particular coffee. However, there is no greater satisfaction than achieving those remarkable coffee bean roast profiles, because we know that we’ve done the coffee justice and honoured the hard work of the coffee farmer.

We achieve the freshest tasting coffee in Edmonton by roasting coffee in small batches, five days a week. And we blind cup — professionally evaluate — each production roast in order to ensure quality.
