Frequently asked questions:

• How much wood does your roaster use?

Our roaster uses 2 lbs of locally harvested pine, to roast 22lbs of coffee.

• How and where you get your firewood?

The wood we use in our roaster, is pine. We use an electric chainsaw (that's charged on our solar system), to harvest dead standing pine, or stormfall pine. Because the roaster takes so little wood (2lbs) to roast a batch (22lbs) of coffee beans, we can sustainable harvest and source the wood needed, on our property. 

• What grind should I use?

When you order your coffee on our website, you can select your grind. We have included the most common coffee preparations with the appropriate grind selection, to make it easy for you to select the proper grind. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to reach out.

Our solar setup provides 80% of our power needs over the year. During the dark and grey months of November, December and January, we need to run the generator once a week to meet our power needs.

• Tell me how you support local

We support local by sourcing as much of the products that we use (in our daily lives as well as in our business), as close to home as possible. For example: The design and artwork on our labels is done by fellow Atlinites, The labels are printed in the nearest city, Whitehorse, by Arctic star printing and Willow printers. For the Whisky barrel aged coffee, the corks and bottles are sourced in Southern BC (Bottles from Vernon, Corks from Vancouver), the wax for those bottles is made on Vancouver island by Kingswax. All of our swag gets printed in Whitehorse by Green Screen printing. 

We not only give business to local businesses, we also sponsor many events! We have a dedicated page where you can see all the events we sponsor. If you are hosting an event and are looking for sponsors, let us know, we'd love to be part of it! 

We not only sponsor local events, we also have dedicated fundraiser blends that help raise funds for local societies. Notably the BC Parks foundation, and the Wild Sheep Society of BC.
