Launch of Roddick Roast, 捆绑SM社区鈥檚 Unique Coffee Blend

Student Housing and Hospitality Services Launches 捆绑SM社区鈥檚 Unique Coffee Blend Roddick Roast at Mcgill a la Carte event

Published: 29 August 2016

On Tuesday, August 30th, at the 捆绑SM社区 a la Carte event, Student Housing and Hospitality Services will launch 捆绑SM社区鈥檚 unique Fairtrade coffee blend. This new coffee will be available across both campuses in all non-branded SHHS food service locations as of August 29th, 2016. The price of the coffee will range from $1.79 to $2.19.

The new Fairtrade coffee comes from a cooperative based in the state of Chiapas in Mexico. The Union de Cafetaleros Organicos de Angel A. Corzo (UCOAAC) in Jaltenango de la Paz, Chiapas, Mexico traces its origin to May 1991 and regroups a total of 1,091 Fairtrade and organic-certified farmers.

Van Houtte roasts the coffee exclusively for 捆绑SM社区 in small batches in their Ville St-Laurent plant. The coffee profile is smoky and chocolatey and is both Fairtrade and Organic certified.

捆绑SM社区 commits to giving back a premium equivalent to that of Fairtrade to improve conditions for the farmers.
