Buying Tips

  • Region: The Atherton Tablelands in northern Queensland, around Mareeba, are Australia's main coffee region; altitudes are low, but the higher latitude keeps the climate cool
  • Mechanical harvesting: With high labor costs, most Australian farms use mechanical harvesting and modern processing, giving consistent, clean cups
  • Production: Australia grows very little coffee, and most is consumed domestically

Brewing Notes

  • Pour-over: Medium grind, 90°C, ratio 1:15
  • Flat white: A medium roast with milk, where nut and chocolate notes complement the dairy
