Phil & Sebastian Coffee Roasters

The vendor's own about page names Phil Robertson and Sebastian Sztabzyb as co-founders who still run the business day to day: Phil leads roasting operations, quality control, and green sourcing in Africa, while Sebastian leads cafe operations, green purchasing in Central and South America, and finances; both are described as based in Calgary. A federal Corporations Canada name search for "Phil & Sebastian" returned zero results, consistent with the company being incorporated provincially in Alberta rather than federally, but Alberta's corporate registry requires a paid search through a registry agent and could not be reached, so ownership rests on the vendor's own statements rather than a registry filing.

All roasting happens at the company's Simmons Building head office in Calgary on a custom-built 45kg roaster, after the roasting facility moved there from a warehouse in East Inglewood in the summer of 2017. No outside roasting, co-packing, or offshore facility is mentioned anywhere on the site.

• Simmons Building - Phil & Sebastian Coffee Roasters vendor_statement “The Simmons Building is the home of our head office, roasterie, training lab, and state-of-the-art concept cafe. In the summer of 2017, we moved our entire roasting facility from a warehouse in East Inglewood to the historic Simmons building.”

Phil & Sebastian is a single-market business: its head office and roastery and all nine of its cafes are in Calgary, Alberta, and the careers page discloses no locations outside the city.

Green coffee cannot be grown in Canada, so every bean the company roasts is imported. Its sourcing page describes buying green coffee directly from producers rather than through importers, and its current coffee lineup is filterable by origin: Colombia, Panama, Guatemala, Ethiopia, Ecuador, and Costa Rica, all in Latin America or Africa, so the mix goes entirely to OTHER with no stated origin in the US or EU.

• Our Coffee Approach - Phil & Sebastian Coffee Roasters vendor_statement “We buy coffee directly from the people who grow it, rather than using importers as a middle man.”
