OrgBook BC lists Salt Spring Coffee Inc. (BC1523183) as an active British Columbia company, incorporated as a numbered company in January 2025 and renamed in April 2025, but the registry data discloses no shareholders or directors, so the ownership share rests on the vendor's own statement. No acquisition, parent company, or outside investor turned up in searches.

Green coffee cannot be grown in Canada, so every bean Salt Spring Coffee roasts is imported. The vendor's own story page names origin trips and direct trade partnerships in Costa Rica, Peru, Nicaragua, Sumatra, and Uganda, and a product sourcing page lists Latin America as an origin, all in Latin America, Asia, or Africa, so the mix goes entirely to OTHER.
