First Nation Artist Series - Medium Roast

Angler's Coffee is proud to showcase regional and national artists who share our commitment to supporting and preserving our native fish species and their habitats with our range of Artist Series Coffees.

These special coffees are selected by our founder for their unique qualities, limited availability, and interesting stories.

Our First Nation Artist Series Coffees feature the art of renowned First Nation carver and artist Kevin Paul of the Swinomish Tribe in coastal Washington State. In their native language Lushootseed, “Swinomish” means “Salmon People.”    

Kevin Paul was born in 1960 in the Swinomish Indian Nation on Puget Sound in LaConner, Washington. Kevin, a respected tribal elder, is a master artist of contemporary and traditional First Nation carvings and paintings and as “the keeper of the drum” he advocates for passing on his Swinomish legacy. Kevin has taught Northwest Wood Carving in the La Conner Schools since 1994, passing down this important art-form to countless generations of First Nations children.

For every bag sold, $1 will go to the Upper Skagit Tribe via the Skagit Watershed Council, an organization working communally to restore salmon and trout to the Skagit and Samish Rivers.

The Coffee: Organic Colombia Inza

The coffee co-op, Inza, that produced this coffee is made up of 80 local producers,  all smallholder farmers; the average size of the farms is under 5 acres. Most of these farmers have been growing coffees organically for generations. The co-op gained organic certification, and now the farmers are paid an extra premium when delivering cherries or parchment to the mill. This coffee is a true representation of what we call “the classic cup” - and as the lightest roast level we offer, this is a coffee that clearly represents a certain origin.
