The Canadian coffee icon we lost in 2014. Most Canadians have no idea this happened.

In 1964, NHL legend Tim Horton opened a donut shop in Hamilton. For 50 years, that brand was genuinely Canadian-owned. Then in December 2014, it was sold for $12.5 billion to foreign investors. The brand kept the name. The nostalgia stayed. But the ownership? Gone. When you spend $2.35 on your morning coffee, where does that money actually go? We wrote about this because we think Canadians deserve to know what they're supporting. Does this change how you see your morning coffee?

The Canadian Coffee Icon We Lost In 2014 (And Nobody Noticed) Canadian coffee icon sold to Americans for $12.5B in 2014. Most Canadians still don't know. Learn what happened to Tim Horton's legacy.

March 2020: Nicole and I both lost our jobs.

July 2020: We're selling hand-labeled bags of mushroom coffee at a farmer's market, praying someone—anyone—will buy one.

Today: 40 stores across Canada, thousands of customers, a brand we're genuinely proud of.

But here's what nobody tells you about starting a business during a pandemic:

The terror. The 3 AM panic. The "what if we just wasted our life savings on mushroom powder" moments. The weeks where we sold 12 bags total and wondered if we were insane.

Nicole perfected the recipe after 200+ test batches. I handled the branding and begged stores to give us a chance. We did everything ourselves—blending, packaging, labeling, shipping—because we couldn't afford to hire anyone.

Then something wild happened: people started telling their friends. Strangers became loyalists. One customer bought our entire farmer's market inventory "to stock up." Local stores reached out. The momentum built.

And suddenly we weren't two unemployed Canadians with a kitchen-table dream anymore. We were building something real.

I just wrote up the full story—the good, the terrifying, the "how did we actually pull this off" moments. It's the most honest thing I've ever written about building Shyne.

Read it if you want to know why "Made in Canada" isn't just marketing for us. Or why we only put one mushroom per blend. Or why we're so annoyingly grateful to every single customer.

👇 And then tell us your story: How did you discover Shyne? What made you try it? What made you stay?

We're here because you chose to support us. That's not a tagline. That's just the truth. 🇨🇦

Real talk: We're the only major mushroom coffee brand made in Canada.

Everyone else? Imported from the US.

We just published a no-BS breakdown comparing what Canadians actually pay for imported mushroom coffee versus buying domestic. The cost difference is... let's just say it's not small.

👇 COMMENT BELOW 👇

Which type of Canadian shopper are you?

🍁 Type A: "I check every label for Made in Canada"
💰 Type B: "I buy whatever's cheapest, don't care where it's from"
🤷 Type C: "I want to buy Canadian but honestly forget to check"
😤 Type D: "I actively avoid imports because cross-border fees"

Drop your letter below. No judgment. We're genuinely curious.

(And if you're Type A, tag someone who's definitely Type B and needs an intervention) 😂🇨🇦

Okay, confession time.We spent $1,100 taking mushroom coffee to the streets of Toronto and asking random Canadians to try it.

No context. No brand names. Just "here, try this coffee."👉

https://shynecoffee.ca/does-mushroom-coffee-taste-good/

73 out of 100 people couldn't tell it had mushrooms in it.

But here's the wild part...When they tried the "other" brands (our competitors), people made FACES. Like, actual disgust faces.

One guy literally said "did you make this with dirt?

"Turns out most mushroom coffee brands are using ground-up OATS with mushroom dust and charging you $2 per cup.

They call it "mushroom blend."

We call it what it is: a scam.
