Takelma Roasting Co.

What Takelma Roasting Co. does

Takelma Roasting Co. is a specialty coffee roasting company founded in 2017 and headquartered in Roseburg, Oregon. It is wholly owned and operated by the Cow Creek Band of Umpqua Tribe of Indians, a federally recognized Native American tribe, functioning as a tribal enterprise. The company roasts specialty-grade coffee in small batches from high-quality green beans, with a portfolio of roughly eight roast profiles including Obsidian Dark, Plank House Blend (Medium), Mountain Roast, Burundi Single Origin, Espresso Roast, Wila'w Decaf (Swiss Water Process), French Roast, and a 40th Anniversary Roast. Each roast profile is associated with a Takelma word, linking the product line to the tribe's cultural heritage and language revitalization efforts.

The business operates across three revenue channels: direct-to-consumer e-commerce via a Shopify storefront (selling coffee, apparel, gear, and Takelma language picture books), wholesale supply to offices, hotels, resorts, and retailers (with bundled equipment purchase/leasing, maintenance, training, custom profiling, and co-branding), and a branded on-site coffee shop inside Seven Feathers Casino Resort. Product pricing spans roughly $12 (mugs) to $227 (wholesale bulk packs), with coffee at ~$18.95 per 12oz bag and free DTC shipping over $75. Named wholesale and retail partners include Seven Feathers Casino Resort, The Atom Bistro, Steamboat Inn, North Forty Beer Company, Two Shy Brewing, Sherm's Thunderbird, Market of Choice, People's Co-Op, J & J Market, and Banner Bank, with geographic reach limited to Southern Oregon.

The company is privately held with no disclosed revenue, no external funding rounds, no M&A activity, and no publicly disclosed leadership team beyond a Seven Feathers-affiliated contact email. Its technology stack is conventional (Shopify e-commerce, traditional roasting equipment), and there are no disclosed AI/ML, proprietary software, or API capabilities. The primary moat is the brand's cultural authenticity as a Native American-owned specialty coffee operation, supplemented by a regional wholesale distribution network and the captive Seven Feathers casino retail channel.

Broad incumbents

• Peet's Coffee: Established specialty coffee incumbent with broad grocery distribution and foodservice/wholesale programs; represents the larger competitive backdrop in which small roasters like Takelma must differentiate.
