What is the famous Canadian coffee?
Tim Hortons’ prevalence in the coffee and donut market has led to its branding as a Canadian cultural icon. The media routinely refer to its iconic status, despite this being a relatively recent development; there were only a few outlets before the chain’s expansion in the late 1990s and 2000s. We have no idea how this rumour got started but let’s be clear: Tim Hortons never sold or shared its coffee recipes with McDonald’s Canada (nor did any of our suppliers). Coffee is at the heart of our history and we’re proud of how it brings millions of Canadians together every day.
Which coffee do Tim Hortons use?
Here’s your coffee fact of the day – here at Tim Hortons, we use only 100% premium Arabica coffee beans. Hand-picked for quality and known for their smoother and refined flavour. Continental Speciale Instant Coffee | Premium Arabica Blend | 100% Pure Coffee | Smooth & Rich Instant Coffee | Medium Roast | No Added Flavors | 100g Jar.Top notch specialty Robusta coffee will usually taste as good as or better than low end Arabica. However, high end Robusta isn’t widely used or available. Rather, Robusta is usually used as a filler or cost reducer.When you see ‘100 percent Arabica’ on a coffee label, it does mean it’s of a higher quality than coffees that use Robusta beans, but it does not mean it is the highest quality coffee available,” deMezzo added. All coffee beans are graded according to color and size uniformity and taste.Chances are, you’re drinking a cup of Arabica coffee. With nearly 60% of all coffee made from Arabica beans, it is easy to see why they are the most popular coffee beans among casual and more refined coffee drinkers alike.
Which grocery store has the best coffee?
The best supermarket to buy coffee beans varies, but many shoppers recommend Whole Foods or Costco for high-quality beans. The best coffee beans to buy are sustainably sourced Arabica, preferably whole beans for freshness and flavor. Ground coffee has more surface area exposed, increasing the oxidation rate and degrading great flavour. You’ve got less life on ground coffee (about 1-2 weeks). With this in mind, there are a few things we can do to keep the coffee at its best for longer.The central trade-off is freshness versus convenience. Whole beans offer maximum aroma when freshly ground, but require a grinder and a bit more time. Ground coffee delivers convenience but sacrifices longevity of that freshness.Coffee is coffee at the end of the day, but it’s worth knowing that supermarket beans are often older and less consistent than those from specialist roasters. You can still find good quality beans on the shelves, but supermarket storage and distribution aren’t designed to keep coffee at its freshest for long.There is something called the 15/15/15/15 rule of thumb. Non-roasted beans will stale in 15 months. Roasted beans will stale in 15 days. Ground coffee stales in 15 minutes.
