OUR VALUES

Community: We care deeply about the people we work with, the industry we work in, and the communities we live in, source from, and impact.
Quality: Propeller only buys from the most experienced, sustainable and knowledgeable farmers because they produce the highest quality specialty beans. We dedicate a tremendous amount of time and energy to making sure every batch of coffee we roast meets or exceeds the standards we’re looking for.
Sustainability: We try our hardest to make our coffee the most sustainable it can possibly be. In building our direct trade relationships we care about how our farmers grow and process their coffees and engage in their communities.
At home in our roastery, we take great care to store and roast our beans in what we believe is Canada’s most energy efficient and lowest footprint roastery. Roasting and serving great coffee is important, but it shouldn’t tax our environment.
