Well Moja fans, we are well into the start of the new year, which means lots of cool things are happening here. Ask any of our Baristas for a list of upcoming single origin organic coffees that are arriving daily. And if you haven’t already tried a Chemex coffee, drop in and have Scott (our very own lord of the rings) demo one of these little guys to you. It will be the best drip coffee you will ever drink.
Happy 2012

Moja Coffee will be open on December 24th from 9am till 2pm. We will be closed December 25 to January 2nd. We are back serving the drinks on January 3rd from 7:30am till 5pm.
From all of us at Moja Coffee, have a safe holiday season and we look forward to serving you in 2012!

Moja Coffee Christmas Open House Saturday December 17 9am
Macc-Pops: The Search for the Elusive Iced Coffee
Yes.
Ladies and Gentlemen, we’ve done it again.
I know there were thoughts of “Oh, the sun’s not out, Moja’s not cooking anything up” or, “Oh, those lazy baristas, where the summer drinks at?” and even “Why oh why doesn’t the Moj’ have anything iced?” (Which is untrue, why would you think that? We make iced EVERYTHING except Capps… I guess thats the only thing we don’t ice…)
But now, our crack team of coffee scientists have done the impossible. Three baristas at Moja have pooled their collective cafe experience to bring you the never-anticipated but much underestimated and never, ever duplicated:
Orange Maple Macc-Pops
Oh, you heard me the first time.
It’s a one of a kind popsicle to be enjoyed by everyone, and inject a little summer into everyones… well, everyones lack of summer.
Fresh-squeezed Orange Juice, Cream, Double Espresso, and a dash of Maple Syrup. Frozen to a stick. Yours, for $3, while supplies last.
If they go over well I’ll make a whole bunch of them and keep them around for the summer. Ben and I are going to make MochaPops this afternoon with a single spro, cream and chocolate. I guess Ben though the Macc-Pops were a little espresso-y for the uninitiated.. I dunno, I thought they were great. But chocolate is chocolate, and I don’t want to deny people they’re chocolate.
Anyways: Macc-Pops. Get while the gettin’s good. Like… before the staff gets to ‘em.
Coffee Terroir
No, we don’t mean the dog. That’s terrier. Though there is a cute dog named Moja (thanks!), we’re talking terroir – a term used to “denote the special characteristics that the georgraphy, geology and climate of a certain place bestowed upon particular varieties.”
In coffee, terroir describes everything that a particular region bestows upon a bean. Terroir can also be used to describe how a particular growing season (weather, etc) impacts the bean of a certain region. All of these characteristics alter the taste and character of a bean.
Listen below as Tristan explains the concept of Coffee Terroir:

Moja Open House a Success
Last Saturday we held our Summer Open House, our chance to thank our loyal customers with some great deals. We put 1lb bags of coffee on for $10/lb and more than 500 bags walked out the door! We were busy from the moment we opened at 9am. We were pleased that lots of people purchased gift cards (they were $20 for $25 in value), and hope that many Dads received them on Father’s Day the next day!
Congratulations to the winners of all our gift baskets and stay tuned for our next sale – just in time for Christmas!
Moja ‘Faceoff’ Playoff Special
The Vancouver Canucks are heading into the final game, game 7, in the 2011 Playoffs tomorrow. To wish them the best of luck in bringing home the Stanley Cup, we’re offering this limited time drink special – the Moja Faceoff!

We show our colours with these two ingredients!
GREEN – Mint Leaves
BLUE – A fresh blueberry
The Moja Faceoff is mint leaves, vanilla ice cream, a blueberry and a double espresso served on the side. Just like with the Espresso Bomb, you ‘drop the puck’ of your espresso into the ice cream.
$4 while supplies last.
