There香蕉视频直播檚 an uprising of caffeine in Kelowna.

After three seasons at Kelowna香蕉视频直播檚 Farmers Market, co-owners Bailey Mitchell and Jesse Nelson have found Anarchy Coffee a permanent home.

香蕉视频直播淭his has been a four-year project in the making,香蕉视频直播� said Mitchell. 香蕉视频直播淲e started roasting coffee in my old shed in Whistler and the plan was to move to Kelowna, be closer to family and get this thing going just to be a bit more of a bigger brand and project and become a job for ourselves.香蕉视频直播�

Both originating from Ottawa, Mitchell and Nelson went to Selkirk College together in Nelson and then worked different jobs together in Whistler. While there the love of coffee started.

香蕉视频直播淚t just started in our own kitchen,香蕉视频直播� said Mitchell. 香蕉视频直播淛ust trying to have that perfect coffee every morning and it turned into a deep rabbit hole.香蕉视频直播�

Over time, they would try different local coffees and roasters, trying to find what a good cup of coffee was in their eyes. Mitchell says he also got inspiration and the idea to eventually turn his coffee into a business when he was in Thailand. When he was there, he visited a coffee plantation, bought beans and brought them home. He continued to play around with different ways of making coffee in his workshop, including using a stove top and a barbecue.

With Nelson香蕉视频直播檚 wife from the Kamloops area and Mitchell香蕉视频直播檚 family moving to Kelowna to retire, the two of them also decided to move to the area and start their coffee business out of a mobile trailer. In 2021, they opened their stand at the Kelowna Farmers Market and became a staple there for three years.
