Founder's Story

In my early twenties, the sandy shores and sun-kissed waves of the Northern beaches were my daily backdrop as I mastered the art of espresso as a barista. Amid the hum of the grinder and the steamy hiss of the milk frother, my fascination with coffee blossomed into a relentless passion. Even on days when the instant coffee's bitterness was my only solace through the chaos, my devotion to this rich, aromatic elixir never wavered.

But it was in the lush, untamed jungles of Papua New Guinea that my coffee journey took a turn into the extraordinary. Far removed from the familiar hustle bustle of the cafe, I was introduced to a coffee that was as bold and adventurous as my homeland. This wasn't just any coffee; it was a revelation—smooth, robust, and untouched by bitterness, a stark contrast to everything I'd known.

Returning home, I was haunted by the memory of that coffee, a hidden treasure nestled in the heart of the jungle, unknown and untouched by the world. It felt like I'd uncovered a secret too remarkable to keep. Driven by a newfound purpose, I set out with a burning mission: to bring this exceptional coffee to Australians, to share the magic I had experienced.
