This is interesting & important, but where exactly does the coffee come from? Where is it grown?
Where exactly our beans are sourced from is proprietary info – our secret recipe. All we can say is our blends are 3 hand selected Arabica beans from South America and Africa.
I’d love to see you guys create another amazing blend made from 💯 Australian sourced coffee beans
Would absolutely love to see Australian sourced beans !
Love this coffee, would really love to see an organic option.
