We are situated in Thames in the heart of the Coromandel

Steve always had the desire to roast coffee and enjoyed roasting small batches of beans from various countries.  A chance meeting thru a mutual friend found us travelling to Vietnam to visit a coffee factory that supports small local coffee farms in the Northwest Mountain Ranges.

Before we knew it we were importing this Vietnamese Arabica and helping support these
​small farmers.

The coffee is grown at an altitude of 800-1400m which is higher than the Pinnacles in the Kauaeranga Valley near where we live which is 759m.

The beautiful rambling hills of Vietnam remind us of the Valley.​
