Shop > Our Producers > Whistling Whale Coffee Co.
Whistling Whale Coffee Co. started in 2020. What began as a hobby fuelled by passion and caffeination, became a small family-run business. Chad and Breanne believe that coffee is a morning ritual and an afternoon pick me up, meant to be savoured and shared and what better way to share it than with our community. We source high quality beans - mostly organic and fair trade, and many which are sourced from women's co-ops from coffee growing regions such as Colombia, Peru and Ethiopia.
We began roasting on a tiny one-pound roaster in 2020. After lots of trial and error and countless hours of reading, we started to develop a special set of skills in our craft, and the coffee was tasting great. This was a fun and rewarding hobby we shared together. With great coffee came great, loyal customers. Juggling jobs, a big blended family, and a roaster that was only roasting one pound at a time, it quickly began to consume every free moment we had. Things needed to change, and today we operate on a full sized commercial grade coffee roaster where we were able to meet the demand of our existing customers and develop an entirely new customer base up and down Vancouver Island. This hobby has transformed into what is known today as Whistling Whale Coffee Company which was officially founded in May, 2022 in Ladysmith, BC.
Fast forward to spring of 2023 and we purchased our little coffee trailer, the perfect addition to our home-based coffee roastery. You might just see us at seasonal markets and events on Vancouver Island. Stay tuned to our website and social pages for future updates! A sincere thank-you for all your love and support,
Breanne & Chad
Thank you for checking out our products! Below is a list of products we carry - typically you will see "featured products" right away that we have on special, and then a category tree on the side to browse specific products. If you're not logged in yet, clicking "add to order" will cause you to be redirected to a login screen - we require that you setup a customer profile before you can actually order. Once you've setup a customer profile, you can easily add items to either your current week order or your "recurring items" order using the delivery options dropdown - here is a quick overview:
Please take the time to read this, it will make your ordering experience more fun!
- Choosing "one time only" tells the system a couple of things:
- If you already have an order generated for the current week (based on your recurring order) then choosing this option will tell the system you'd like the product this week. (of course, this assumes your delivery date hasn't passed already, and that your cut-off time for order changes hasn't passed already)
How do you tell if you have a current order for this week? When you click view/edit my order tab, you will see the products and table rows either have a white background (current week order) or a green background (recurring order items) - or it will say you have no order at all. The other way to easily tell is the header in the products listing on your order page will either say "Current order for 10/12/08" or it will say "Recurring order".
- If your delivery date has already passed this week, or your cut-off time for editing orders has passed, then choosing this option will add the item to your recurring order. The item will show up on your next week order, and then be dropped automatically from the recurring items you'd like to receive.
- If you already have an order generated for the current week (based on your recurring order) then choosing this option will tell the system you'd like the product this week. (of course, this assumes your delivery date hasn't passed already, and that your cut-off time for order changes hasn't passed already)
- Choosing "every week" tells the system:
- If you already have a current week order, that you'd like to add it to both the current week, and the recurring order items so that you continue to receive the product each week.
- If you do not have a current week order, or your order date or cut-off time has already passed, it simply adds it to your recurring order to be generated the next week, and will remain in your recurring order each week until you take it out.
- Choosing "every other week odd" or even (the current week is highlighted), will tell the system:
- If you already have a current week order, that you'd like to add it to both the current week, and the recurring order items so that you continue to receive the product on the week of your choosing.
- If you do not have a current week order, or your order date or cut-off time has already passed, it simply adds it to your recurring order to be generated the next week (depending on if next week is odd or even of course), and will remain in your recurring order until you take it out.
- Choosing "once per month" option will tell the system:
- If you already have a current week order, that you'd like to add it to both the current week, and the recurring order items so that you continue to receive the product once per month (on the first delivery of each month you will receive the product).
- If you do not have a current week order, or your order date or cut-off time has already passed, it simply adds it to your recurring order to be generated the next week (depending on if next week is the first order for you of the month), and will remain in your recurring order until you take it out.
When you click "add to order" you will get a confirmation that the item was added to your order - you can view the order summary at any time by clicking the "view/edit" order tab. Happy ordering!
