Rock Paper Coffee

Coffee people are gathering in this week, a good reminder that coffee is craft, not just caffeine.

That is the standard behind Rock Paper Coffee, prairie roasted with respect for the cup.☕

Sunday is a good reminder that not every day has to move at weekday speed.

A quiet picnic by the lake, coffee in hand, and time with family can do more than most complicated plans ever will. That’s the kind of Sunday we believe in - getting outside, slowing down, and making space for real moments.

How are you spending your Sunday today?

Sunday mornings are better when they start outside.

A good hike, a little fresh air, and coffee that comes with you - that’s the kind of weekend rhythm we believe in. Simple, real, and worth getting up for.

If you’re staying in tonight, this is your reminder that can still be part of the plan without taking over tomorrow morning.

Our 100% Colombian gives you the full ritual - warm cup, cozy moment, real flavour - with a smooth smoky caramel profile and a clean finish that never turns bitter.

May 24 is Brazil’s Dia Nacional do Cafe, established by ABIC and commonly tied to the start of the coffee harvest season there.

Even if you’re just having a normal cup at home, this is one of those dates that pulls the whole industry back to the beginning of the chain: farms, harvest timing, processing, and the work it takes before coffee ever reaches a roaster.

Coffee is agriculture first - and that’s worth remembering.

It’s International Tea Day (May 21), so we’re leaning into a cafe classic crossover: the Dirty Chai - chai tea with a shot of espresso.

Quick recipe (iced):
Fill a glass with ice
Add 1/2 cup chai (strong brewed chai or concentrate)
Add 1/2 cup milk
Pour a double shot of espresso on top

Tip: Brew your chai extra-strong and let it cool before building the drink - that’s how you keep the flavour rich instead of diluted.

If you’re making it with Rock Paper Coffee, our 100% Colombian Espresso is the move here - it holds its own against the spice.

🐝 Today is World Bee Day (May 20).

When we talk about coffee, we usually talk about flavour and freshness, but coffee also depends on healthy farm ecosystems. Pollinators support biodiversity across agricultural landscapes, including coffee-growing regions.

If you want a simple way to mark the day: plant something native, protect flowering plants, and go easy on chemicals that hurt pollinators. Small changes add up.

Theme for 2026: “Bee together for people and the planet.”

May Long Weekend is here, which usually means one thing: we’re outside. 🤠☕️
If you’re heading out to a cabin, campground, or just taking the scenic route, bring coffee that’s made for real mornings, not perfect ones. Rock Paper Coffee is roasted in for wide-open days and cold starts.

What are you doing this weekend, camping, cabin, day trip, or staying local?

Coffee people, London’s big weekend is here. ☕️

The London Coffee Festival runs May 14–17 at The Truman Brewery, with 275 coffee and gourmet food brands, barista demos, workshops, and education sessions that dig into what’s shaping the industry right now.

If you’re heading there, what are you looking for most: new roasters, gear, or learning something you can actually use at home?

Happy Mother’s Day. 🤍

A lot of us don’t remember the exact brand of coffee from childhood - but we remember the feeling of those mornings.
The kitchen sounds. The routine. The way Mom somehow made the day start.

If you’re still looking for a simple, thoughtful gift, our Mother’s Day Blend is now available on our website as a limited seasonal release.
Roasted in Saskatchewan in small batches - made to be shared, brewed, and remembered.

Order online while it’s still in stock. 🌸☕️
