The Canadian Coffee industry has a rich history, with new trends and innovations emerging that have helped shape the Canadian coffee culture we know today. From the rise of specialty coffee shops to the increasing demand for sustainable practices and ethical sourcing, the industry has come a long way.
As one of the leaders in this evolving industry, Spirit Bear Coffee Company is more than just a coffee brand. It's a story of passion, dedication, and community. With a commitment to fair trade and organic coffee, as well as a focus on sustainability and ethical practices, Spirit Bear Coffee Company is helping to lead the way in the Canadian coffee industry.
The History of Canadian Coffee
On Turtle Island, coffee dates back to the 1600s when it was first introduced by settlers. However, it wasn't until the 1800s that coffee production started to scale up in Canada. By the early 1900s, several coffee roasters were operating in the country.
The industry continued to grow and evolve throughout the 20th century, with new trends and innovations emerging. In the 1980s and 90s, the specialty coffee movement gained momentum. This led to the rise of independent coffee shops and cafes across the country. Today, Canada is home to a vibrant coffee industry with a diverse range of roasters and cafes.
A Shift in Coffee Trends
Over the past few years, there has been a noticeable shift in consumer preferences within the Canadian coffee industry. Specifically, there has been a growing demand for specialty coffee, sustainable practices, and ethical sourcing. This has led to a rise in independent coffee shops and cafes across the country that offer a diverse range of options for consumers.
One of the biggest changes in the industry has been a move towards single-origin and fair-trade coffee. Consumers are increasingly interested in where their coffee comes from and the conditions under which it is produced. They want to know that the coffee they are drinking is not only of high quality but also ethically sourced. This has led to a greater focus on sustainability and ethical practices throughout the coffee industry.
Another trend that has emerged in recent years is the popularity of nitro and cold brew coffee. These new and innovative ways of enjoying coffee have gained a lot of popularity among consumers.
Cold brew coffee, for example, is a type of coffee that is made by steeping coffee grounds in cold or room temperature water for an extended period, usually 12-24 hours. This slow brewing process results in a coffee that is less acidic, smoother, and less bitter than traditional hot brewed coffee.

The Spirit Bear Coffee Story
Spirit Bear Coffee Company is more than just a coffee brand - it's a story of passion, dedication, and community. Our journey began with a simple idea: to create a coffee company that was truly sustainable, ethical, and delicious.
The inspiration for our brand came from the spirit bear, a rare subspecies of the North American black bear that is found only in the Great Bear Rainforest of British Columbia, Canada. Known for its striking white coat, the spirit bear is considered a symbol of hope, peace, and harmony in Indigenous cultures.
Our ties to the West Coast and Indigenous communities run deep. We are proud to be an Indigenous-owned company, and we are committed to working with Indigenous coffee producers and farmers to help build sustainable economies and communities.
