I have had such a wonderful experience with Spirit Bear! I decided to place a pretty big order as part of my holiday shopping, wanting to support a fair trade and Indigenous-run organization. They reached out to ask exactly how I wanted my coffee ground, and when my order arrived with a slight error, the Spirit Bear team responded quickly, were apologetic and shipped out the missing item from my order right away. Upon receiving this new package, I was delighted to find not only the item I'd been expecting but also a handwritten note and complimentary coffee mug! Not only is their coffee excellent

I was looking to support a local business that sold fairtrade coffee, so I decided to give Spirit Bear a try. I've been ordering from them for over a year now and I'm glad I made the switch. I love dark roast, so I tried Orca and Raven, but my preference is Raven. There is nothing I enjoy more than opening a bag and smelling the beans and then brewing a cup using my Aeropress. Love the full-bodied, rich flavour.

I purchased a beautiful orange Every Child Matters tshirt from Spirit Bear and was so thrilled to support a local business and indigenous artist. Can't wait to try their coffee as well!
