Our Beans
We partner with local importers to get our hands on the world's best green beans. We offer a selection of specialty single-origin roasted coffee beans from Brazil, Colombia and Kenya.
Our Roastery
Once the coffee beans arrive at our in-house roastery in Waipu, New Zealand, they are carefully hand-roasted in micro-batches to ensure the best flavour in every cup. We then grind and pack our coffee into our adventure-proof Epic Drip Filters or Whole Beans for you to enjoy at home.

Kenya's coffee beans have a distinct profile due to the varieties that were brought to the country from other regions, mutating in various climates before finding their way back to the African continent. The rich soil further enhances the coffee's singular profile. Kenyan coffee beans are known for their size, with larger beans having more essential oils that enhance taste and aroma. The top grade is Kenya AA, known for being the largest and best quality beans.

This decaffeination process is unique. The caffeine is extracted using sugar cane and water which enhances sweetness while maintaining coffee attributes. The green beans are put into a steam chamber where the silver skin is removed from the bean. After this, the beans are submerged in spring water and as soon the coffee is saturated with water it is sent to the extractors where the beans have direct contact with sugar cane ethyl acetate for 8 hours which dissolves the caffeine content. Then the decaffeinated coffee is dried in a chamber to reach the same moisture content that it had prior to the process.
