THE ROASTING PROCESS

To form the impeccable flavour, body and aroma that make our blends so distinct, the beans must be roasted to perfection in a purpose built roasting facility in Australia. The roasting process is at the heart of great coffee. It's where it develops its fundamental character.

The coffee is traditionally roasted at 180 - 240 degrees celsius for between 8 and 15 minutes. The degree of roast correlates with the colour of the bean, the longer the roast the darker the colour. Each degree of roast is associated with a specific flavour characteristic and we roast our beans to ensure that a wide range of tastes is catered for.
