{"title":"Kafka's Coffee Roasting","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFounded in Mount Pleasant, Kafka’s helped define Vancouver’s third‑wave identity. Their cafés became creative hubs, and their roasting style followed suit: bright, articulate coffees with a strong sense of place. They work closely with progressive producers, often highlighting micro‑lots and expressive processing styles. Kafka’s is for drinkers who want nuance, acidity with intention, and coffees that evolve as they cool.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"kafkas-espresso-blend","title":"Kafka's Espresso Blend - Third Wave Style","description":"\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eFlavor Anchors: Cocoa • Rhubarb • Cardamom • Demerara Sugar\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eA modern, sweet‑leaning espresso built from Brazil and two distinct Ethiopian components — one washed, one natural.
