Roasting
Brewed Awakening’s passion for coffee is obvious from the moment you walk in our doors to your very last sip – we strive to roast each batch to perfection.
Our Beans:
All of our beans are both Fair Trade and Organic and sourced directly from the country of origin: Bolivia, Columbia, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico and Peru.
Brewed on Bernard also offers Rainforest Alliance certified beans from Costa Rica and Ethiopia. These beans are slightly more expensive but for good reason: There are very astringent guidelines followed to produce them up to and including the demand for fair wages for pickers and producers as well as no farmer being allowed to alter any natural waterways to produce Rainforest Alliance certified beans.

Roasting Tours
We now offer roasting tours at Brewed on Bernard. The tour is an informal, relaxed information session given by both the founder of Brewed Awakening and our expert coffee roaster.
Your tour will include the following:
- Sampling a specialty coffee of choice
- An information session on both the Fair Trade and Organic movements
- The opportunity to watch coffee being roasted straight from the green bean
- Sampling just-roasted beans via the French Press brewing method; considered by many to be the truest way to savour coffee
- Receiving a sample of the roast to take home so you can spread the good word about your freshly-roasted experience
At Brewed Awakening we love to share and promote coffee culture and a huge part of that is roasting our own beans. Brewed Awakening is proudly the sole coffee roastery on the West Coast of Newfoundland which allows us to give you the full experience of what it means to be both a part of a global movement and supporting your local economy.
