Dark City Coffee Delivered To Your Door
Posted by sookie under recreation, shops
Are you a coffee freak like me living in Toronto? If you are I want to share a terrific little secret with you. You can have super fresh roasted coffee delivered to your home or office door within 24 hours by Dark City. Even your favourite coffee shops won’t have it this fresh. If you buy your blends at the supermarket this might be too much for you…it’s a whole new world of coffee out there.
Having fresh flavourful coffee come to my door feels like a priviledge, but I’m not paying any more for it than I would at any specialty store. As a birthday or holiay treat I have it sent to my friends’ homes. They love it.
My friend at Dark City Coffee roasts his fair trade and organic coffee on his premises. After having just watched the documentary Black Coffee on TVOntario I realized the importance of sharing this with you. We should all be aware of where in this world this commodity is coming from. Fairly traded coffee should be supported by everyone. Dark City offers coffee from around the world and you can live better knowing that everyone in the process of growing and trading is getting their fair share.
If you live in the West End of Toronto you’ll find a little coffee shop on Roncesvalles called Cherry Bomb that serves a taste of Dark City Coffee. Alternative Grounds, also on Ronces, is a great place for fair trade and organic beans too.

Still, how do you beat the taste and feeling of mental well being after a cup of black Contra Coffee?
At the height of the Cold War, the Contras fought for political and economic freedom in Nicaragua. Their heroic efforts forced democratic elections and led to the fall of the Sandinista government. Today, a cooperative of former Contras grows an exceptional coffee high in the mountains of northern Nicaragua. Contra Café roasts this outstanding coffee and delivers it fresh to your home.
Contra Café pays more than the Fair Trade price, but unlike Fair Trade, their price isn’t a handout. We’re simply paying what this outstanding coffee merits.
