About No6 Coffee Co.

No6 Coffee Co. was founded in 2015 in Nelson, British Columbia. From the start, the roastery was built around relationships, with importers who work directly with producers over the long term, and with farmers who take care of the land they grow on. They operate as a boutique roastery and tasting bar, roasting and restocking weekly in small batches.

No6 sources exclusively through independent specialty importers who work directly with small farms and cooperatives. They pay above fair-trade premiums, which is reflected in the range of prices across their single-origin offerings. Their green coffee is stored in sealed GrainPro bags in a controlled, low-humidity environment between roasts. The roastery has also run a zero-waste initiative since opening, offering coffee in returnable glass jars and a wholesale bucket system alongside their standard bags, which have saved thousands of single-use items from landfill.

I sat with Denis, owner of No6 Coffee Co, this past January. One of the more memorable moments from our conversation was when he explained that No6 is is not looking to roast the most unusual or headline-worthy coffee, but to master the technique of coffee roasting and produce simply great cups of coffee for just about everyone.

— Dean, Director of Coffee
