Toronto single-origin roastery with a producer's name on every bag.
Alex Castellani, co-owner of Subtext and part of the founding team of the Toronto cafe Boxcar Social, began roasting with his team at the start of 2020. Subtext roasts in a unit on Cawthra Avenue and publishes transparency reports for 2022 to 2024.
Every coffee is single origin, with no dark roasts. Some lots are bought directly and most come through importers, from Guatemala, Colombia, Mexico, Costa Rica and Kenya.
