How do we feel about this coffee?
It feels warm, cheery and personal like a slice of fresh citrus, milk chocolate and your best friend making you a handmade burned CD with all their current favourite songs.

Coffee Story
This is one for all the Val Pals out there!! This exclusive coffee was a labour of love, crafted in collaboration with our good friends in the Toronto alternative indie pop band Valley. Rob, Alex, and Karah didn't just lend their names to this project; they came into the Detour roastery, tasted coffees, and helped create an exclusive blend to commemorate the release of their fantastic new record, "Water the Flowers, Pray for a Garden." Valley's blend reflects their love for coffee, both on the road and at home. It's a warm, cheery, and personal experience, much like a slice of fresh citrus, milk chocolate, and a handmade burned CD with all your current favourite songs. And to make it even more special, each coffee label comes with a QR code to access exclusive content directly from the band. It's like they're brewing a cup for you themselves. So sit back, press play on Water the Flowers, Pray of a Garden by Valley, and enjoy brewing and sipping the same coffee the band enjoys. It's the perfect morning coffee and music companion.

"Good morning, we're a band called Valley. As the cause is, so the effect will be. As the action is, so the result will be. As the seed is, so the fruit will be. We hope you enjoy our official Water The Flowers, Pray For a Garden blend." - Karah, Rob, Alex.

What's in the Blend?

Ethiopia Guji 🇪🇹
Grown in the acclaimed Guji Zone this coffee represents everything we love about Ethiopian coffees. The lot itself is composed of local heirloom varieties that are grown in wild garden conditions at an incredibly high elevation between 2150 and 2350 MASL by local coffee smallholder producers who bring their cherry to the local washing station to be processed.

Colombia Huila 🇨🇴
Colombia Huila is a field blend of coffee varieties grown along mountains within the central cordillera of the Andes in the Huila region by more than 50 small parcel producers. Once freshly picked, the blend of Caturra and Colombia varieties is carefully hand-sorted and processed at each farm, with particular attention paid to the drying process.
