Our Story

The Story Behind FIKA SPICE is we started to make a delicious spice for our morning coffee and ended up getting so much more.

Over our 32 years together we have been experimenting with spices to add to our coffee-starting with Ceylon cinnamon drawn to its naturally sweet warm flavor and powerful antioxidant benefits. Cinnamon has been known to help manage blood sugar, improve heart health, and brain function.

As our four children grew up we spent time traveling as a family first camping and then their athletic abilities took us across the country playing basketball and competing in Track and Field.

We always found a way to enjoy our coffee even when the wood was a little damp from the storm the night before, as we waited for the percolator to heat our grounds. We also had fun checking out local coffee shops…we always took a little time for FIKA. The journey sparked an idea: what if we combine a variety of antioxidant-rich spices into one delicious blend?

We started adding some of the best cocoa to our Ceylon cinnamon knowing how delicious these sought after spices have been. Cocoa is rich in flavor as well as antioxidants especially in flavanols- which help protect cells from damage caused by free radicals. 

Next we introduced fragrant Madagascar vanilla bean powder for its powerful antioxidant properties known to help reduce inflammation, improve mood, and potentially support blood sugar regulation but more for its incredible taste and smell!

After years of testing and tasting, we created FIKA SPICE- a unique combination of nine delicious spices that naturally boost your antioxidant intake. It’s the perfect addition to your daily coffee, tea, chai, baked goods, pastries, yogurt, sweet potatoes, oats, and more. 

Rooted in our Scandinavian heritage and inspired by the Swedish tradition of FIKA-a mindful break to enjoy coffee, connection, or quiet time-we created FIKA SPICE to be more than just a spice blend. It’s a daily ritual.

With backgrounds in Child and Family Studies, Counseling, Health, and Physical Education we understand the importance of reducing inflammation, managing stress, making time for family, friends, and allowing yourself to slow down and savor life!

With just a simple shake, FIKA SPICE infuses your day with flavor, tradition, and a powerful boost of antioxidants.”
