Our coffee story is told best by our founder, Charles Litterst: "Born in Canada and raised on coffee plantations in Costa Rica, I learned from a young age of the artistry and passion required for cultivating the finest 100% Arabica beans. For over 40 years, that passion has become the beating heart that spurs my family business, creating gourmet coffee unlike any other. I invite you to enjoy one of life’s greatest pleasures." With such a unique experience in his youth, Charles founded Zavida Coffee in 1980. We are proudly Canadian, with headquarters and a full production facility in Concord, Ontario. We work hard every day to provide over 40 varieties of flavoured, single origin and coffee blends to our loyal customers. Flavoured coffee is a passion at Zavida, and it’s where we’ve placed most of our focus. The fun, happy, and celebratory nature of flavoured coffee is the cornerstone of our company. At Zavida, we focus most of our resources on creating and perfecting a curated range of flavoured coffees in different formats – from whole beans to ground coffee, single-serve cups, and individual pouches. We want to provide you with coffee in the format you like to enjoy it! The liveliness of flavoured coffee is what inspired the name of Zavida! It’s a play on words for “la vida”, which means life in Spanish.
