I was recently in Old Quebec City when I stumbled upon an espresso/tea shop. A UTZ certified roaster. The best beans I have tasted so far. Anyone else heard of this guy?

I've bought beans from Terra Café many times.

They are based in Montréal and the shipping is free in Québec (order of $25 or more), or $2 per order to Manitoba. Their prices have been raised (was around $26/kg) put are still competitive. The owner, Carlo Granito, is a coffee passionate. I was generally satisfied with what I bought from them (Goccia d'oro and Cohiba blend especially) although their roasts cannot compete with 49th Parallel's Epic, Counter Culture Cafe's Espresso Toscano or with Café St-Henri's Godshot blend, to name a few (all roasted lighter than what Terra Café does). I use the word "generally" because the coffee was not always consistent from batch to batch (order to order).

Many here have touted RedBird's Espresso (see this thread: Red Bird Espresso), as an excellent quality/price ratio. I would put Terra Café in the same category, although my last order from Terra Café was made a year ago and I ordered from RedBird only two months ago (I didn't compare both coffees side by side).

So... not one of the top roaster in North America but still a very good value to my inexpert buds. Certainly better than what I can get elsewhere for local roasters in Montréal.

I haven't bought coffee yet from other Canadian roasters (Transcend, Detour, Social, Fratello, etc.), so I cannot make any comparison with them.

If you buy some for home use, I would be happy to get feedback, to confirm/infirm my personal opinion...

PS. They also sell green beans but at a non competitive price (around $24/kg). Still pricier than ordering from Sweet Maria's, even with shipping across the border.
