Michelle and Paisley Nahanee have created a modern-day platform for Indigenous businesses in Vancouver.

The Capilano Tea House and Botanical Soda Company opened its doors on Friday, Feb. 19, introducing the public to its plant-inspired beverages infused with Indigenous history and the global palate.

The mother-daughter duo sat with Loose Lips Magazine over bannock paired with East Van Jam, and Buffalo-stuffed filo pastries to talk First Nations history, banishing stereotypes, and paying tribute to your roots.

You can find The Capilano at 221 Abbott Street in the heart of Gastown. Check out their Instagram and Facebook for more.
