About the Coffee

The Roaster & the Beans

Wagtail Coffee is roasted weekly by a Master Roaster in Brisbane with 28+ years experience. 
Winner of Gold, Silver and Bronze awards over 3 years at the "Golden Bean" Roaster Awards in NSW, proving excellence in roasting and blending to perfection. This is possibly the richest, smoothest coffee you have ever tasted. 


COFFEE ROASTING IS HIS PASSION…….. 

He buys the highest quality grade coffee beans from Papua New Guinea & other renowned coffee growing nations around the world. 

The Papua New Guinean beans (organic varieties) are fairly traded from local farmers on Djaul Island which is close to the equator [1].  Our roaster has dedicated his 200 hectare plantation to sustain the economic development of these farms across 5 villages.



The best beans in the world are grown close to the equator at higher altitudes.  These plantations on Djaul Island meet this criteria and that’s why the quality of Wagtail Coffee is so high.

 

Our Master Roaster is ‘The Choice of Coffee Connoisseurs’.  He roasts the varieties of green beans separately in very small batches due to differences in texture and moisture content.  Roasting of Wagtail Coffee beans is done at a slower rate than other larger coffee companies to fully develop the flavour, aroma and preserve the oil content of the beans.

The Blends

Some of our beans are from a single origin and others are blends from several origins (countries/plantations).  Wagtail Coffee has developed some exciting blends to cater for all coffee lovers tastes.  There are mild roasted beans for the gentle pallet, medium blends for fuller taste and stronger blends like Italian Style and Cappuccino Supreme for a real flavour kick.  We have a coffee to suit your taste buds.

Our organic beans are our "speciality blends", we serve "Organic Espresso" blend from our coffee cart service at markets, events and festivals. 

Sourcing, roasting, blending and good coffee making is the edge Wagtail Coffee has over its competition.  Give our coffee a try and decide for yourself.
