Icelandic River Roast Coffee

Icelandic River Roast’s custom-designed label features an authentic, apron-clad, pioneer amma in her farmhouse kitchen, holding a coffee pot in one hand and a cup and saucer in the other. The picture, taken about 1920 and found in an old photo album, is Geirþrúður Jónsdóttir (from Fjöll in Kelduhverfi) of Brú, Manitoba, wife of pioneer Stefán Pétursson. The back label provides the following explanation: “For centuries, coffee (kaffi) has been synonymous with Icelandic hospitality. Now Icelandic River Roast recalls this rich tradition brought to the shores of Lake Winnipeg in 1875. ‘Tíu Dropar’ (10 drops) is an old Icelandic request for ‘just a little more’.”

Icelandic River Roast, which features beans from around the world, is locally roasted and blended especially for Icelandic River Heritage Sites, in keeping with traditions surrounding "Icelandic coffee culture". We now offer several distinct blends ranging from a delicious dark roast (Earl of Dufferin) to a light and nutty Fjallkona blend. Nýja ísland is a very nice robust medium-dark blend, and the new Tíu Dropar is Icelandic River Roast's signature medium blend. Once a year we also create a special 'Jóla Kaffi' (Christmas Coffee) for the holiday season.
