RIDGEFIELD, WA – Salish Kinh, a new and innovative coffee company, is excited to announce its official launch. As a 100% Indigenous-owned business, Salish Kinh is committed to offering premium, ethically sourced coffee that honors the traditions of the Indigenous communities in North America and Vietnam. The company’s mission is to bridge the gap between continents while delivering high-quality coffee to consumers who appreciate sustainability and authenticity.

Founded by Luke Bridges, Nicholas Ellars, and Huyen Nguyen, Salish Kinh sources its coffee beans exclusively from Indigenous-owned partner farms in Central Vietnam. Luke Bridges, a member of the Cowlitz Indian Tribe, and Nicholas Ellars, a member of the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma, bring their deep-rooted connections to their respective Indigenous communities into the heart of the company. Huyen Nguyen, a Vietnamese citizen and descendant of the Kinh Peoples, adds a profound link to the culture and land of Vietnam. These partnerships ensure that the beans are not only of the highest quality but also produced in a way that respects the land and the people who work it.

“We are thrilled to introduce Salish Kinh to coffee lovers everywhere,” said Luke Bridges, Co-Founder of Salish Kinh. “Our coffee is more than just a product; it’s a connection between cultures, a story of sustainability, and a commitment to quality. We want every cup of Salish Kinh coffee to be a reminder of the rich heritage and dedication that goes into its creation.”

Salish Kinh offers a variety of coffee products, including whole bean and instant options, each made from Specialty Grade A beans. The company’s product lineup includes five distinct blends: Tahoma, Between the Pines, Dark Divide, Four Directions, and Lahar. These blends cater to a wide range of tastes, from the smooth and balanced flavors of Tahoma to the bold and intense notes of Lahar.

The company also offers Instant Lattes, Portable Pour Overs, and K-Cups for those who value convenience without sacrificing quality. The Instant Lattes are crafted from Specialty Grade A coffee beans sourced from Ð?k L?k, Vietnam, and are freeze-dried to preserve their rich, full-bodied flavor. Each packet provides a café-style experience with warm, vanilla, and caramel notes, ready in seconds by simply adding hot water. The Portable Pour Overs are available in the Tahoma and Between the Pines blends, allowing coffee lovers to enjoy a fresh, high-quality pour-over anywhere, anytime. Perhaps most exciting, Salish Kinh k-cups use specialty grade coffee while maintaining an accessible price and are one of the few options on the market for an elevated k-cup experience.

In addition to its coffee offerings, Salish Kinh is also launching an eco-lifestyle product line, featuring sustainably sourced bamboo cups and straws from Vietnam. These products reflect the company’s dedication to environmental stewardship and providing consumers with high-quality, sustainable alternatives.

“Salish Kinh is about more than just coffee,” added Nicholas Ellars, Co-Founder of Salish Kinh. “It’s about creating a sustainable future and empowering Indigenous communities. We’re proud to bring our values to the forefront of everything we do, from the way we source our beans to the way we package our products.”

Huyen Nguyen, Co-Founder of Salish Kinh, emphasized the importance of bridging cultures through the company’s products: “Our partnership with the coffee farmers in Vietnam is built on mutual respect and a shared commitment to quality. It’s an honor to bring the rich traditions of my homeland to a wider audience through our coffee and eco-lifestyle products. This collaboration is a testament to the strength of our cultures and our dedication to sustainability.”

Salish Kinh products are available for purchase on the company’s website, Amazon, and various PNW retail and hotel properties and the company continues its work to expand into retail stores and Native American-owned casinos and resorts throughout the US. The company is also committed to building strong relationships with its customers and partners, offering tailored operational services for B2B clients.
