The idea for Indigenous Roots Coff ee Co. grew out of a love for delicious coffee and a love for Community. The love for coffee began in Natasha’s childhood home, as her family has been involved in coffee business for nearly thirty-years. Since then, coffee has been a part of her daily routine. Wake-up, put on the espresso machine and start the day with a hot brew, whether it is a calm cup on the porch or a to-go mug out the door (!) the day always starts with coffee. Kear and Natasha have met many people who want to learn more and be good and respectful visitors in Indigenous Territories.
As co-founders, Kear and Natasha were looking for ways they could build community and celebrate their own cultures through art and relationships. As Métis and Haida, respectively, they seek ways to weave Indigenous worldviews into their company at the grassroots level - Indigenous Roots coffee bags are a reflection of their cultures, with the Métis Floral Beadwork and Mouse Woman in Haida formline.
