THE PERFECT BALANCE FOR COFFEEKIND

At Zest, we believe in the perfect balance of great flavour and good taste—pillars that define our purpose. We are a humble yet driven collective, finding harmony between flavour and taste, quality and value, and people and culture. Our commitment to this balance sets us apart as both innovators and leaders in the specialty coffee industry, seamlessly blending tradition with a fearless eye toward the future.

ALWAYS GREAT FLAVOUR, ALWAYS IN GOOD TASTE

We dedicate ourselves to consistently crafting exceptional coffee, recognized and awarded for its flavour, like our 2017 gold medal for filter coffee at the Golden Bean. Through meticulous tasting, profiling, and processes perfected by our passionate team, we ensure every cup lives up to Zest’s high standards.

But it’s more than just the coffee that embodies good taste—it’s the people, the community, and the relationships we nurture. From our roasters to our partners, Zest Specialty Coffee Roasters stands for professionalism, integrity, and an unwavering commitment to good taste in all aspects of our brand.

OUR QUEST FOR FLAVOUR

Roasting is where we shine. We focus on small batch, artisan roasting, embracing micro-lots and post-blending to bring out the best in every bean. There are no shortcuts here—just a relentless pursuit of the perfect cup. Each roast is crafted to enhance the unique aroma, flavour, and character of the harvest, honoring the complexity and seasonality of specialty coffee. For us, consistency is essential, but perfection is the ultimate goal.

RELATIONSHIPS THAT MATTER

Zest is more than a roaster; we are innovators, educators, and explorers. But above all, we are a family. We treat every customer—whether a café owner, corporate partner, barista, or home brewer—as part of our family, with warmth, reliability, and knowledge. Our relationships are the foundation of our business, and we value the connections we’ve built with coffee farmers and coffee lovers alike.

DISCOVERING FLAVOUR TERRAINS

The world of coffee is a rich and diverse landscape—a blend of flavours, origins, stories, and people. At Zest, we bring these landscapes together, creating vibrant Flavour Terrains that reflect our deep passion for coffee. These colourful patterns, featured on all our packaging, symbolize the mountainous terrains where our coffee is grown and our fascination with flavour discovery. Each contour and colour represents the journey we invite every coffee lover to explore.

We are deeply invested in helping our café partners grow. Through education, training, and the sharing of knowledge, we strive to create unforgettable flavour experiences that build loyal patronage. Our team of coffee professionals is dedicated to your success, committed to sharing our passion for flavour and helping you navigate the vast and exciting world of coffee.
