Wildfire Coffee Roasters

Wildfire Coffee Roasters skips a conventional storefront and online cart altogether — customers place orders by texting 778-220-9649 with their item, quantity, address, and name, then pay by e-transfer, card, or cash on delivery. It's a direct-to-neighbour model shaped by where the company operates: Kamloops, a region that has lived through repeated wildfire seasons, which is also why 5% of every bag sold goes to wildfire and disaster relief through the Red Cross and the SPCA. The bestselling Initial Attack Medium Roast, a 340-gram bag named for the firefighting term for the first response to a new blaze, sits alongside seasonal releases like the 'Sleighin' It' Holiday Dark Roast and merchandise such as ceramic camp mugs. Orders placed before Wednesday at midnight get free delivery within Kamloops by Friday; anyone outside city limits pays standard Canada Post rates. The company has said an online store is coming, but for now the text-in system is the entire storefront — a small-batch roaster reachable by phone number rather than a checkout page, with its charitable cut baked into every bag rather than treated as a seasonal promotion.
