Pickup availability
80 Somersby Falls RD, Somersby NSWThis coffee’s roasted in our filter style — meaning it’s designed to shine as black coffee rather than with milk. That doesn’t mean you have to brew it as a pour-over though. You can make it however you like — espresso, moka pot, AeroPress or anything in between. We simply roast it a little lighter to highlight the bean’s origin flavours giving you a cup that’s clean, vibrant and full of clarity.
Lighter roasting keeps more of the natural acidity and sweetness intact which makes for a beautifully expressive black coffee. This coffee is best enjoyed without milk as it’s too acidic and the flavours don’t pair well once milk is added.
If you prefer your milk coffee with richer caramel, toffee or nutty flavours you might enjoy our espresso range more. Those roasts are taken a little darker to bring out deeper sweetness and balance beautifully with milk.

Bolivia | Finca La Asunta | Jhonny Corina | Java Washed - When is peak flavour?
Medium Roast - Roasted on Roest P3000
Jhonny Corina
Jhonny Corina has owned his 8-hectare farm in the La Asunta municipality since 2015, maintaining over 16,000 trees of Gesha, Castillo and Java intercropped with citrus, plantains and native legume-family forest trees that keep the soil rich. In a region better known for coca, Jhonny and fellow producers formed the FEPIAC federation to pool production, reach better buyers and prove coffee's potential as an alternative crop. His coffee is picked by hand and dried in the sun.
La Asunta
A rugged municipality in Sud Yungas, La Paz, fed by waterfalls up to 400 metres high off the Boopi and Cotacajes rivers - warm, humid and ideal for coffee.
About the Java Variety
Despite the name, Java's story begins in Ethiopia: it descends from Ethiopian landrace stock, was selected and transplanted to Cameroon in the mid-20th century (where it was known as a tolerant, quality-focused smallholder variety), and reached the Americas via Costa Rica in 1991.
It has since become a quiet favourite of specialty growers across Central and South America - elegant, aromatic, stone-fruited cups with real clarity, from a tree that tolerates tough conditions better than most Ethiopian-derived varieties.
On Jhonny Corina's shaded, intercropped hillsides at 1,500 metres it shows exactly that character: jammy nectarine over dark and milk chocolate, balanced acidity and a fruit-like sweetness.
