ASSEMBLY BLEND - COFFEE ROASTED FOR ESPRESSO
from $22.00

Medium-bodied with milk chocolate & dried fruit. Pairs perfectly with milk.

Region: 50% Colombia, Balboa & 50% Brazil, Anahy
Process: Washed & natural
Varietals: Castillo, caturra, acaia

This seasonal espresso blend combines two fresh, new-season coffees from Colombia and Brazil. Each component is roasted individually to preserve its best character, then blended to create a consistent, versatile espresso that prioritises balance, sweetness and structure. The Assembly Blend works seamlessly with milk while remaining clear and expressive as a straight espresso.

This iteration brings together two dependable, high-performing origins in equal measure: 50% Balboa Regional Plus from Cauca, Colombia, and 50% Anahy from the south of Minas Gerais, Brazil. Rather than chasing novelty, the blend is built around structure, sweetness, and consistency — coffees selected for clarity of process and reliability of profile. Together they form a balanced foundation: Colombia providing lift and definition, Brazil offering depth and warmth.

Balboa Regional Plus represents a higher-tier regional offering, sourced from well-managed farms and quality-driven producer groups in Cauca. Grown at altitude and carefully processed, the coffee undergoes pulping followed by a controlled dry anaerobic fermentation of around 20 hours before slow drying in parabolic dryers to preserve stability and longevity. The result is a clean, structured cup marked by caramel sweetness, raisin depth, orange brightness, and a soft pear-like acidity. It contributes precision and gentle fruit clarity to the blend without overt ferment character.

Anahy, meaning “sweet voice” in the Tupi-Guarani language, is a natural-processed coffee grown by small scale producers in South Minas Gerais at around 1,050 metres above sea level. The region’s fertile soils, abundant sunlight, and high elevations are well known for producing coffees with chocolate and nut foundations and an easy, balanced sweetness. In the blend, Anahy anchors the profile with cocoa richness and rounded body, smoothing the brighter edges of the Colombian component. The finished cup is composed and generous: milk chocolate and toasted nuts layered with caramelised citrus and subtle dried fruit, finishing clean, sweet, and quietly assured.

ESPRO PRESS P6 FRENCH PRESS COFFEE MAKER – 945 ML
$159.90

The Espro Press P6 is a premium stainless steel French press designed to brew smooth, grit-free coffee that stays hot for longer.

The Espro Press P6 features a locking handle for easy cleaning and an insulated lid to help keep your coffee warm. Durable, practical, and thoughtfully designed, it’s a French press you’ll reach for daily.

CHINA, YUE GUANG BAI - WHITE TEA
$16.00

A study in understatement, this white tea is the most minimally processed expression of Camellia sinensis. Harvested when buds and leaves are still young and tender, the tea undergoes no rolling or deliberate oxidation. Instead, the fresh leaf is carefully spread to wither, allowing moisture to evaporate slowly before being gently dried, a restrained process that preserves the leaf’s natural structure and clarity.

Yue Guang Bai comes from Nanping Town in Yunnan’s Pu’er region, an area often referred to as the “eternal spring” for its mild temperatures and consistent growing conditions. High elevation, regular rainfall and cool year-round weather support slow growth and delicate flavour development. The tea is grown on a biodynamic farm and produced at the on-site factory in Pu’er, allowing close control from harvest through to drying.

Made from one bud and one leaf, the leaves show their characteristic contrast, one side dark and the other pale and silvery, which gives Yue Guang Bai its name, often translated as Moonlight White. In the cup it’s refined and composed rather than showy. A soft, velvety texture carries subtle musk and pear sweetness, underpinned by a delicate cedar-like structure. Light and airy yet layered, it’s quietly expressive and deeply satisfying.

Available in 40 gram canisters.

For the best results, brew at 80 degrees for 2 minutes. Use a dose of 1.9 grams for 100ml of water. Infuse twice.

TAIWAN, DONG DING - OOLONG TEA
$18.50

Dong Ding oolong originated as tea that was exclusively grown in the Dong Ding mountains in central Taiwan. Now, the name has evolved and relates to the process and style, rather than the location. This Dong Ding is a handpicked, organically grown,spring harvest. This tea garden is in the luscious Nantou county, a region with a delicate ecosystem. The leaves are picked, wilted, lightly oxidised, rolled and baked. A cultivation of traditional production methods and environmentally sustainable practice.

BREAKFAST TEA - BLACK TEA
from $20.00

Breakfast tea is one of the most familiar styles of black tea - a blend shaped more by consistency than novelty. Ours is built to be bold and full-bodied, designed to take milk well while maintaining clarity and structure in the cup.

Our tea producing partners in India assess harvests throughout the year, adjusting the blend seasonally to maintain balance, as the character of the teas shifts with each picking. Built from robust Assamica cultivars, the blend evolves gently over time, guided by taste and experience.

The result is a steady, satisfying cup with malty depth, rounded mouthfeel and excellent tannin - a dependable everyday tea that has long held a place in kitchens and pantries around the world.

Loose leaf tea, available in 160 gram canisters and 1kg bags.

For best results, brew at 95-100 degrees for 3-5 minutes. Use a dose of 2.8 grams for 200ml of water. Brewing suggestions can be personalised for how you like to drink it.
