Toronto 2023

Eating at the Fair

Tasting wine is hungry work, so we’ve got some beautiful food vendors serving their fine dishes at the fair to keep your bellies full and bodies caffeinated.

Subtext coffee

We are a team of coffee professionals roasting in one of the industrial hold-outs of Toronto, Canada. We believe in engaging with higher quality coffee as an alternative to the anonymization and commodification that has characterized the mainstream treatment of coffee throughout history.  And so quality is an acknowledgment of seasonality, of micro-regionality, and of the human labour behind each picked and processed coffee cherry. This is why we don't blend coffee; it's why we don't rename coffees; and it's why we don't roast our coffee dark: because we believe all of this received wisdom has worked to keep producers (and their treatment) veiled while holding the standards of coffee quality shrouded in the mystique of actions meant to solely serve the coffee consuming world. So much of what we do as a roastery can modulate the quality of great coffee, but nothing we do can create quality that doesn't already exist.
