Australian Coffee Beans: East Coast Origins
Coffee has been grown in Australia for almost 200 years but didn’t thrive until the 1880s when it won various European awards. With competition from other coffee-producing countries and their ‘coffee slaves’ (cheap labour), Australian coffee gradually declined.
It wasn’t until the 1980s when the world’s first mechanical harvester was invented in North Queensland that Australian coffee became financially viable and competitive.
Most of the coffee beans in Australia are grown in the subtropical regions along the eastern coast of New South Wales and Queensland. The Queensland coffee beans that we use for our Australian Single Origin coffee are sourced from the Atherton Tableland in Far North Queensland.
Home-grown Australian coffee beans are gaining a lot of momentum in the greater coffee industry due to the high altitude, sandy soils, zero frost and high annual rainfall of the region. The conditions also mean the coffee beans are grown without the use of pesticides.
To make sure the flavours are consistent, we use the washed method for our preferred Queensland coffee beans which involves removing all the outer layers of the coffee cherry down to the parchment prior to drying. Done in three steps using machinery, fermentation and water, this process typically creates a clean, crisp and sharp coffee.
