Honoré de Balzac once said this about the effects of coffee: “Ideas begin to move like the battalions of the Grand Army on the battlefield, and the battle takes place. Things remembered arrive at full gallop, ensign to the wind…” Indeed, coffee has long been a source of energy and inspiration, and it remains a morning staple for many of us.
While I’m not one to say I’m hooked, coffee gives me just the right boost to start my day on a productive, creative note. But not just any coffee will do. That’s why I often turn to Vince’s Own, crafted locally and packaged in-house.
Vince’s Own Coffee
Vittoria Coffee in Woodbridge provides our house blends, which feature a mix of Central and South American beans, carefully chosen for their rich and unique flavours. Our most popular offerings include the medium and dark roasts, but we also have flavours like Hazelnut Vanilla that continue to be crowd pleasers.
Vince’s Own Decaf uses the Mountain Water Process, a natural way to ditch the caffeine without harsh chemicals. It’s my go-to for a late-afternoon pick-me-up, as caffeine’s approximate five-hour half-life will otherwise keep me up at night. Sometimes, I’ll mix decaf with dark roast for a balanced brew that gives me just the right amount of energy.
Colombian coffee is another classic, renowned for its ideal growing conditions: fertile soil, perfect temperatures, and balanced rainfall. Its beans are typically hand-picked to ensure peak ripeness, and the result is a brew that is bold, smooth, and satisfying. Colombia produces 100% arabica beans, preferred for their complex flavours and smoother taste, making them a hit with coffee lovers.
For those who enjoy single-serve coffee makers, Vince’s Own offers a selection of “K-Cup” pods. These pods, made locally in small batches, come in medium roast, flavoured, and seasonal varieties. Plus, they’re fully recyclable – just peel, compost the grounds, and recycle the rest, depending on local guidelines.
No matter how you brew – whether you prefer a Keurig, drip coffee maker, or espresso machine – the key to a great cup starts with a quality bean. Take a stroll down our coffee aisle and explore what we have to offer.
Starting your morning with a satisfying cup of coffee doesn’t have to be complicated. And with Vince’s Own, you’re just a bag away from making your routine a little brighter.
