West Coast Trail Blend

$22.00 Sale • Save

Roasted walnut and bittersweet chocolate define this dark-roast blend, built from two Peruvian coffees. The cup is full-bodied with a rich mouthfeel and steady finish. West Coast Trail Blend is roasted to the lighter side of dark to be bold without harshness — a dependable coffee built for depth, balance, and long mornings. Great with cream and sugar.

Brew Guide

These brew guides are built by our Roastery team to help you brew great coffee, every time. Each method outlines a clear process designed to bring out the best in your coffee.

Fundamentals

  • Preheat your brewing vessel
  • Weigh your ingredients
  • Make sure your brewing vessel is clean
  • Use water that is almost but not quite boiling
  • Make sure to wet all the grounds evenly
  • Rinse any paper filters with hot water before use
  • Be sure to grind the coffee to the correct coarseness for the brewer you are using
  • Fresh coffee will "bloom" which is CO2 being released as hot water hits the coffee
  • To adjust strength change the grind, not the ratio of coffee to water. For stronger tasting coffee grind finer for less intense flavor coarsen your grind.
Conical Pour Over

  1. Wet filter with boiling water and discard water
  2. Put in 20 grams of medium ground coffee
  3. Pour in 100 grams of water & allow coffee to bloom
  4. Pour in remaining 240 grams of water little by little & use the stream of the water to push any grounds off the sides of the filter
  5. When all water is in stir once in a circular motion
  6. Let drip till done
French Press

  1. Put in 55 grams of coarse ground coffee
  2. Pour in 935 grams of water just off the boil
  3. Stir
  4. Fit top on to retain heat and wait 4 minutes
  5. Plunge
  6. Decant to another vessel
Aeropress

  1. Place the top portion of the brewer upside down on table
  2. Fit the bottom section over the rubber basket (At this point the numbers should be upside down on both parts of the brewer.)
  3. Put in 15 grams of medium ground coffee
  4. Pour in hot water to top (around 250 grams)
  5. Stir and make sure there are no dry grounds hiding at the bottom
  6. Let sit for 45 seconds
  7. Affix the filter cap with a wetted paper filter into the fitting (this should be at the top at this point) and depress a tiny bit so the slurry is close to the filter.
  8. Carefully invert the entire brewer onto your heated mug and press to the bottom.

Perfect pairings
Customers rate us 4.9/5 based on 656 reviews.

Customers said this blend is smooth, bold, and complex with nutty, fruity notes. "Close to perfection" and "best coffee I've tasted" are common praises. Works well for espresso, French press, and drip. One customer found it lighter than expected for a dark roast. Highly praised for freshness, flavor, and subscription convenience.

By far our favourite coffee. We have tried many other companies as well as types of roast . I can’t say enough good things about this blend. Close to perfection.

Iced coffee go-to

We make coffee hot in the evening, and then chill it overnight for morning iced coffee. We tried a bunch of different coffees, and a few years ago settled on Kicking Horse's Three Sisters. We recently swapped to this coffee, and it is both smoother and more robust while still keeping the flavour profile and feel that we're looking for. Overall a positive (but minor) upgrade.

Delicious coffee.

I had the pleasure of picking up a pound of Fernwood's West Coast dark roast at Thrifty's on sale. I was pleasantly surprised by the nutty, drinkable taste. It was a great alternative to the acidic dark roasts I'm used to. I will add this coffee to my daily drinker list.

Consistent quality for a reasonable price

After enjoying Fernwood coffee on a recent trip to Victoria, we brought a bag home to enjoy. We were impressed by the quality and flavoured so we looked into getting it delivered to Alberta. The value of the 5LB bag subscription was worth it to replace our locally roasted beans. We're still dialing in the frequency of delivery, but regardless if we run out before our next scheduled delivery, it takes minutes to adjust and a few days to arrive.

One of our faves!

This is a solid favourite in our house. It’s smooth, nutty, and has a really rich depth of flavour. We brew it as a drip or in a French press every morning. Honestly, you can’t go wrong with any of their coffees, but this one is a true staple for us.

Great coffee

Very flavourful, smooth and satisfying -- all the Fernwood coffees I've tried have been excellent but this one is the best so far, and I love being able to subscribe to ensure my supply. I live on the other side of the country, so the only issue I've had so far is timing orders so I don't run out.

Excellent Coffee

My wife and I were fans of Starbucks Verona coffee beans for years. After the nastiness with Trump we began looking for coffee that was roasted in Canada. (Starbucks beans are roasted in the USA). After much searching we settled on Fernwood West Coast Blend for our lattes. The beans are shipped to us every 2 months in Vancouver. No regrets!

Home in a cup

The West Coast Trail Blend is exactly what I’ve been missing. Since moving from Victoria to Saint John NB I’ve longed for the deep earthy flavours of my favourite local roasts and this one delivers. It’s rich smooth and has that grounding west coast vibe in every cup. Tastes like a foggy morning by the ocean. So glad I can still get a piece of home one sip at a time.

Never Looked Back

Once I discovered coffee three years ago I haven't bought anything else. I have it every morning in my French press and it's great in a moka pot too. Fantastic.

My new favorite coffee

I usually buy Salt Spring Coffee, this was next to it in the organic coffee section and when I picked up the bag I smelled the most delicious notes of chocolate and raspberry. I got it in the evening so I didn't have it right away, but I could not stop smelling it. It smells fantastic and when I did make some it tasted just as good. I will always buy this now.

Bought this coffee for my wife to go along with her new French press, and on indirect recommendation from locals. It’s very smooth and tasty! Look forward to trying other blends!

3rd bag

I'm on my third 5lb bag, this coffee is amazing. Always very fresh, and grinds very well for espresso. I have a subscription and my most recent bag came with a free holiday sample that I didn't even use the code for. Was a very nice Christmas present from Fernwood.

We discovered Fernwood while visiting Victoria and were thrilled to discover they ship. While we like many of the styles, West Coast Trail is our favorite and will continue to support this business.
