 Blenz Surrey SFU

By Candy Ho
Student Life Coordinator,
SFU Surrey Campus

Favourite Blenz Drink: Matcha Latte with Peppermint.

At fi rst glance, Blenz may appear to be a coffee company, but at Simon Fraser University’s Surrey campus it’s become an integral member of our campus community. Of course many students, staff and professors couldn’t begin their days without their favourite caffeinated beverage; they also couldn’t enjoy many of the campus initiatives and events that otherwise wouldn’t be possible or as spectacular without the generous support and contributions that Blenz managers – a mother and daughter team – Tanya Goode, Ronnie Rulens, and their staff provide on a daily basis.

For example, Blenz is a proud sponsor of our Orientation program, which welcomes over 300 new students each Fall. Not only do they provide morning snacks and coffee for our 60 volunteers, Blenz also facilitates coffee meetings where our Orientation Leaders take new students out for coffee during the first month of class for free! Nothing wins students over more than free coffee and treats!

Through the Blenz Cares Program, our SFU Surrey student scholarships and bursaries also grow, with proceeds from SFU
Blenz Coffee bags going directly to fund students’ education. Blenz staff are also some of our best friends, knowing exactly
how to make the perfect drink and giving me my best matcha fix in times of stress!

What is Ceremonial Matcha?

Thursday, August 27th, 2009
Best Award Matcha is the oldest variety of shade-grown Japanese green tea, traditionally used in Zen Buddhist ceremonies for over 800 years. Ground into a fine, jade-green powder using granite grinding wheels, Matcha is whisked with water to create a unique, beautiful and richly flavorful drink.Four weeks before the annual harvest, the tea plantations of the famed Nishio region are covered with tarp shading, eliminating up to 90% of the natural light. The tea plants compensate for this loss of light by increasing chlorophyll content in their leaves. Only the best hand-picked tea leaves are then steamed, dried and cut to remove veins and stems.
