The current lineup

Six origins. One obsession.

Every bag lists the farm, the altitude, the harvest date, and the cupping score. We rotate the menu as new lots peak — so what you taste is the coffee at its absolute best.

Ethiopia · Light

Sidama Reko

Washed heirloom from 2,100m. Jasmine, bergamot, and white peach. Cupped 89.5. Our brightest, most floral pour-over.

Colombia · Medium

Huila Reserva

Pink Bourbon from a single family farm in Pitalito. Red apple, brown sugar, and toffee. The crowd-pleaser, hot or iced.

Brazil · Dark

Cerrado Noturno

Natural-process from Minas Gerais. Dark chocolate, hazelnut, and a syrupy finish. Built for espresso and milk.

Guatemala · Medium

Antigua Volcán

Volcanic-soil Bourbon grown in the shade of Acatenango. Cocoa nib, orange zest, and baking spice. Endlessly balanced.

Blend · Medium-dark

Cardamom House Blend

Our everyday anchor — Colombian sweetness layered over Brazilian body. Caramel, almond, dried cherry. Forgiving on any brewer.

Decaf · Medium

Midnight Decaf

Sugarcane-EA processed, 99.9% caffeine-free. Milk chocolate and roasted pecan. Decaf you'd actually choose on flavor.

How we source

Great coffee startslong before the roaster.

We skip the middlemen and the commodity market. Every lot is traceable to the people who grew it — and priced so they want to keep growing it.

Direct trade, named farms

We buy from the same 14 producer partners year after year, paying an average of 2.8× the Fairtrade floor. You see the farm name on every bag because we know it ourselves.

Roasted the day it ships

Our Loring smart-roaster fires Monday through Thursday. Whatever you order is roasted, rested, and bagged within 24 hours of leaving our door.

Cupped and scored

Every lot is cupped three times before it makes the menu. We only list coffees that score 84+ on the SCA scale — and we print the number.

Sealed for freshness

One-way degassing valves and nitrogen-flushed bags lock in aromatics. Your coffee tastes like the roast date, not the shelf life.

Carbon-neutral delivery

Compostable bags, plastic-free mailers, and offset shipping on every order. Great coffee shouldn't cost the planet a thing.

People don't go back to grocery-store coffee.

I cancelled my café habit three weeks in. The Huila on my own V60 is better than the $6 cup I used to buy, and it shows up before I run out.

As a café owner, freshness is everything. Cardamom is the only roaster I've found that ships fast enough to taste like we roasted it ourselves.

The tasting notes are actually accurate — I found the bergamot in the Sidama on my first brew. It feels like having a roaster as a friend.

Before you brew

How fresh is the coffee, really?

Every bag is roasted the same week it ships and reaches most Canadian addresses within 48 hours of roast. We print the roast date on the bag so you never have to guess.

Whole bean or ground?

Your choice, set per subscription. If you choose ground, we dial the grind to your brew method — espresso, drip, French press, pour-over, or cold brew.

Can I skip a delivery or cancel?

Anytime, in two clicks from your account. Skip a week, swap your origin, change cadence, or cancel outright — no emails, no retention scripts, no fees.

Do you ship outside Canada?

We ship across Canada and to the continental US. Shipping is free on Canadian orders over $40 CAD; US rates are calculated at checkout.

What if I don't love a coffee?

Tell us within 14 days and we'll replace it with something better-suited or refund the bag — no need to return it. Dialing in your taste is the whole point.
