OUR COFFEE
ZEST IS COFFEE. AND OUR COFFEE IS FLAVOUR. WE ARE SIMPLY FASCINATED WITH FLAVOUR.
FLAVOUR DETERMINES A THUMBS UP OR A THUMBS DOWN; A SMILE FROM A FROWN. AT ZEST, WE’RE LASER-FOCUSED ON FLAVOUR, ALWAYS PUTTING FLAVOUR FIRST. ZEST INVITES CONSUMERS ON A JOURNEY FILLED WITH PALATABLE DISCOVERIES AND GOOD COFFEE.
HOW DO WE DO IT?
HERE IS HOW
Always specialty coffee. Always post blending. No short cuts on the road to optimal flavour. Always pursuing perfection.
Flavour begins at the source.
Intense sourcing. Copious cuppings. Origin trips and direct partner relationships with farmers. We reward the farmers who have the same pursuit of perfection as us. Our direct relationships ensure quality and consistency in the toughest times of the coffee industry.
Roasting: where science meets art.
Artisan skill with cutting-edge roasting tech to unlock perfect flavour and consistent quality. Brambati, Diedrich and Roest are our tools, supported by Cropster roasting technology and tracking. We create specialty blends, with flavour at the forefront. We are intent on always pursuing perfection. We shine on every bean. Our artisan roasting process is designed to articulate and enhance the aroma and flavour and unique personality of a toiled harvest. It’s because we understand the seasonality and complexities of specialty coffee that consistency remains a focus. We know there’s no shortcut to optimal flavour. And we know there’s no purpose without it.
Empowering baristas, inspiring excellence.
A quality coffee is only as good as the barista. The final custodian of the bean. Education brews appreciation. We offer training courses and delight in sharing knowledge on our social media platforms.
WHY ZEST?
Because coffee isn’t just coffee to us. It’s an experience, a craft, a passion. With Zest, you get unmatched flavour, unwavering consistency, and relentless quality. Exploring and sharing great coffee flavours, one exceptional cup at a time.
ESPRESSIST BLENDS
At Zest we pride ourselves on our passion for flavour in the cup. It all begins with the consumer in mind, and that being the majority of us Australians drinking a milk based coffee. With this in mind we source, roast and blend our coffees to achieve that sweetness in the cup.
SINGLE ORIGINS
It doesn’t stop there, also catering for the coffee aficionados, like us, who appreciate the balanced acidity and the body found in some of this worlds most amazing micro-lots.
SPECIAL RESERVE
Fermentation is an opportunity to impart flavours and complexity into what would otherwise be sold as commodity coffee. We seek to create flavours that would otherwise not have existed and in so doing enable farmers and co-ops to sell their lots at a premium. Innovation in coffee flavour!
