Our Process
The Beans
Our green beans are a thoughtfully curated selection of blends and single-origin varieties from Nicaragua, Mexico, Brazil, and Ethiopia. Each origin contributes its unique character—rich chocolatey notes from Brazil, sweet caramel undertones from Nicaragua, and bright, fruity highlights from Ethiopia—coming together to create a smooth, full-bodied flavor profile with a velvety finish.
(One day, we dream of cultivating our own coffee beans right here on the island!)
The beans embark on a sustainable journey, sailed across the seas to Motu Aotea. From there, they are transported to our off-grid island roastery, where the magic truly begins.
Perfectly Roasted
Here's where the magic happens. Set up in the middle of a paddock, with our humble Barrier setup, our small-batch artisan blends are carefully tended to and roasted in our traditional Turkish-made gas roaster, all while being infused with the fresh salt air of Aotea
Hand Packed
The freshly roasted coffee beans are hand-packaged, ready to be delivered straight to your door. Each bag is carefully filled and sealed by our skilled team, ensuring that the flavours and aromas you crave are captured perfectly. When you open your package, you'll be greeted with the enticing scent of freshly roasted goodness, knowing that each bean was handled with care.
Roasting coffee off the grid is a caffeinated adventure Mother Nature would approve of. By ditching traditional energy sources and embracing sustainable, off-grid methods, we reduce our carbon footprint and embrace a greener future. Powered by solar energy, we roast each batch in perfect harmony with nature, crafting exceptional coffee with minimal environmental impact.
Located in a secluded spot surrounded by native bush, stunning views, and sandy beaches, our roastery is a true escape. Roasting off the grid gives us the freedom to perfect every roast, unlocking the full potential of each bean.
In short, roasting off the grid means mastering coffee craftsmanship, protecting the planet, and embracing adventure. Grab a cup and join us on this exciting journey toward a brighter, bolder, and more sustainable future!
