Our Story
Born from the Mountains.
Rooted in Alberta. Built for the community.
Where it began
The idea was simple.
We grew up in the mountains. Weekends on the trails, winters on the slopes, summers chasing rivers through the foothills. Coffee was always part of it — the thing you stopped for, the thing that made the cold mornings worth it.
We decided to take that love of the mountains and bring great coffee with it — into towns, cities, and everywhere in between.
So we got to work — sourcing the beans, building the brand, and finding the right spots in the right towns.
What we stand for
Three things we never compromise on.
The Coffee
Single-origin beans, roasted in small batches. We taste every lot before it goes in the hopper.
The Community
We set up in towns and communities with character — places where people know their neighbours and care about what gets built there.
The Responsibility
We operate in some of Canada's most spectacular country. We take that seriously — in our sourcing, our packaging and our footprint.
Why Tamarack?
Named for the tree that turns gold.
The tamarack is the only conifer in Alberta that sheds its needles each autumn — turning a brilliant gold before the first snow. It's a tree that knows the seasons, that belongs to this place. That felt right for us.
Abraham Lake, David Thompson Corridor
Our backyard
Abraham Lake. Nordegg. The Bighorn.
Some of our favourite country sits west of Rocky Mountain House — the Bighorn Wildland, the David Thompson Corridor, Abraham Lake frozen solid in January with methane bubbles locked under the ice. This is the Alberta we're inspired by. Remote, raw and completely worth the drive.
Come find us.
We're coming to towns across Alberta. Small communities, big cities, and everywhere the mountains meet the prairies.
