About Narval

Narval is a Montréal micro-roaster run by a sister and brother. It sells coffee blends and single origins packed in nicely designed cans that stand out on a kitchen shelf.

Narval suits coffee drinkers who like to explore different origins and roast styles, whether they brew with an espresso machine, a pour-over or a French press. A can of coffee makes a handsome gift for a host, a colleague or a new neighbour. Try a single origin alongside a blend to taste the difference. It is a small family roasting business from Montréal.
