Olympia – January 17, 2025 – Salish Kinh, a new coffee company, proudly announces its launch as a 100% Indigenous-owned business committed to offering premium, ethically sourced coffee. Founded by Luke Bridges (Cowlitz Indian Tribe), Nicholas Ellars (Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma), and Huyen Nguyen (descendant of the Kinh Peoples of Vietnam), the company bridges North American and Vietnamese cultures to deliver high-quality coffee products that prioritize sustainability and authenticity.

Salish Kinh sources beans exclusively from Indigenous-owned farms in Central Vietnam, ensuring quality and respect for the land and its people. The company offers a range of Specialty Grade A coffee products, including whole bean and instant options. Blends like Tahoma, Between the Pines, Dark Divide, Four Directions, and Lahar cater to diverse tastes, while Instant Lattes, Portable Pour Overs, and specialty-grade K-Cups provide convenience without compromising quality.

Salish Kinh also debuts an eco-lifestyle product line featuring sustainably sourced bamboo cups and straws, reflecting the company’s dedication to environmental stewardship.

“Our coffee is more than a product; it’s a connection between cultures, a story of sustainability, and a commitment to quality,” said Luke Bridges, Co-Founder. The company’s mission extends to empowering Indigenous communities and promoting mutual respect through its partnerships and practices.

Salish Kinh products are available online via the company’s website and Amazon, with plans for retail expansion and collaborations with Native American-owned casinos and resorts.
