Prototype in Vancouver, specialty coffee roaster

your first sip at prototype will probably make you reconsider what you thought you knew about vancouver coffee. working closely with canada specialty coffee, they source beans that taste like someone actually cared which hillside they came from. the roasts land somewhere between transparent and expressive, where you can feel the difference between a washed ethiopian and a natural colombian without needing a flavor wheel to explain it. the cups are clean, considered, and quietly confident.
