Frequently Asked Questions

Need Help? Here Are Answers to Common Questions
1How fresh is your coffee?
We roast to order in small batches. Coffee is packed and sealed within minutes of roasting to lock in freshness. The roast date is printed on every bag.
2 Do you sell coffee beans to the public?
Yes. We roast and sell a wide range of specialty coffees. You can order directly from us for home brewing or bulk supply. We ship nationwide in South Africa.
3Do you offer barista training?
Yes. We run professional barista training for beginners and experienced baristas. Training covers espresso preparation, milk texturing, filter brewing, and coffee tasting. Courses can be customised for cafés and hospitality businesses.
4What’s the difference between single origin and blends?
Single origin coffee comes from one country or farm, offering unique flavour notes. Blends combine beans from different origins to create a balanced and consistent flavour. We roast both, depending on your preference.
5What is private label coffee?
Private label coffee means we roast coffee under your own brand name. You choose the beans, roast profile, and packaging. We handle the roasting and, if needed, the packaging. This service is ideal for cafés, restaurants, and businesses wanting their own coffee line.
6Can I supply my own green coffee beans for roasting?
Yes. We offer roasting as a service even if you supply the beans. We’ll work with your bean type and desired profile to get the flavour you want.
7How much does contract roasting cost?
Contract roasting costs depend on bean type, quantity, and any profiling or development needed. Consulting, profiling, and packaging are quoted separately. Contact us for a full breakdown.
8Do you ship coffee outside of South Africa?
Currently, we focus on supplying within South Africa. If you are an international buyer, contact us to discuss possible export options.
