Le Draveur

A husband and wife team founded Nektar in 2017 in Kelowna, choosing a name inspired by nectar to represent the sweetness and natural essence they seek in every roast. Based on Dickson Avenue, the roastery serves the Okanagan Valley with small batch roasting that emphasizes medium profiles, balancing sweetness and body across origins from Colombia, Guatemala, Ethiopia, Brazil, and Costa Rica. Ethically sourced beans and a focus on community gathering define the operation, with a wholesale program supplying local Okanagan cafes and restaurants. The roastery also supports local artists and musicians, reflecting a philosophy that positions coffee as something that brings people together in the valley's laid back, outdoor lifestyle. A subscription service is available for regular customers who want Nektar delivered to their door.
