Our Story

the Family

The Deer and the Bear is a small family run and owned business located in Oregon. In fact the name comes from the nicknames of the roaster's daughters. The girls help out with some of the art for the business and upon request, we have one of a kind coffee bags designed by them that we can use for your coffee. You can also see some of their work on our merchandise page.

the Roaster

Shawn is the primary roaster for the Deer and the Bear and hand roasts each batch of coffee to exact standards. He loves coffee, science and art and started the company to have an excuse to do all three. The guiding principal to all the coffee that we produce is to create something that we love to drink while exploring the endless varieties of tastes that coffee can produce. Our available coffees will continue to evolve over time while always having the consistency of great taste.
