TASTE

Indian Summer is a well-rounded, well-balanced coffee. Its slight hint of acidity gives it a pleasantly complex side.

The taste of nougat is very present. Its texture is honeyed and its finish is chocolatey and hazelnut.

A cup with an enveloping taste, a gentle awakening without any bitterness.

ROASTING

It's a blend leave alone clean, that is to say with a roasting not too dark to let out its little hint of acidity, without smoky taste.

TASTING

This is the regular classic filter from Nektar Torréfacteur.

It is possible to add to it milk or sugar without it becoming distorted. Even black, it will not taste nor smoky, neither burnt nor bitter.

This is an easy-to-extract coffee that will forgive settings that aren't perfectly executed.

NEKTAR ROASTER

At the very beginning of the adventure, in 2009, Nektar has set out to introduce the world of specialty coffee to the general public. They offered more than twenty third-wave roasters in their small space in the St-Roch district of Quebec City, but according to them, something was missing. They wanted to share their knowledge with you and discover everything new that was happening in the world of coffee growing, but they had to navigate through the offerings of their roasting partners, which did not offer the full scope of what they aspired to.

This is why in 2018, they chose to take the plunge into the world of roasting, to offer you more exploration, their vision, their DNA.

The world of coffee is evolving at a lightning speed and several drying techniques, several terroirs and coffeeiculteurs.trices deserve to be put forward more than they are currently.

They decided to offer you an unprejudiced discovery experience, with a traceability approach from farm to cup. This allows them to actively participate in the sustainable development of producing countries. More and more of you are discovering their coffees, and this allows them to exchange and build relationships with more than twenty producers per year.

They are still as passionate as in 2009 and their curiosity is no longer in doubt.If there's a new technique being used, a new cultivar being crossed, or a farm experimenting with its harvest, they've likely reserved a portion of that lot. Exploring and sharing the fruits of their research with you is their greatest pleasure.

This enthusiasm is accompanied by a crucial element: respect for all the humans behind every farm, every bean harvested, roasted and every cup of coffee you hold in your hands.

Let's explore together, with respect.

Karen Ludwig, roaster and Guillaume Michaud, co-owner.
