Canterbury has been serving large Canadian clients for over 40 years. If you are not a national grocery chain, EZPZ is the better fit.
Canterbury Coffee is one of Canada's largest and most established coffee companies. Based in BC, they have been roasting and supplying coffee to major Canadian grocery chains, national foodservice companies, and large institutional clients for over four decades. They are very good at what they do.
But Canterbury's private label program is designed for large-scale clients. Their onboarding process, minimum quantities, lead times, and pricing structures are built around clients ordering tens of thousands of units. If you are a boutique hotel, a growing restaurant group, a specialty retailer, or any business that wants to launch a branded coffee product without massive upfront commitments — Canterbury is simply not built for you.

Canterbury's private label page lists Grocery and Foodservice as their two client categories. If your business does not fit neatly into one of those boxes — a boutique, a gym, a hotel, an online brand — Canterbury is not designed for you. EZPZ works with any business of any size, in any industry, anywhere in Canada.
Canterbury's private label program requires volume commitments that make sense for grocery shelf space but are completely unrealistic for most small and medium businesses. EZPZ has zero minimums. You can start with a single bag, test the market, and scale when you are ready. The risk is essentially zero.
Getting a custom coffee program off the ground with Canterbury means sales calls, sampling rounds, design approvals, production scheduling, and months of lead time. EZPZ lets you design your bag online, pick your coffee, and place your order in under 30 minutes. Most orders are ready within 2 to 3 weeks.
