About Us

HUMMINGBIRD COFFEE IS A BOUTIQUE COFFEE ROASTERY, WHOLLY NEW ZEALAND OWNED AND OPERATED. WE'VE BEEN ROASTING SINCE 1990 - BIG ENOUGH TO OFFER YOU EVERYTHING YOU NEED, YET SMALL ENOUGH TO MAINTAIN OUR
BOUTIQUE CULTURE AND VALUES.

  • We source beans from around 20 different origins.
  • We roast each origin in small batches to best bring out its ideal flavour characteristics. Pre-blending green beans, which many roasters now do, does not allow for any individual characteristics of the bean to be taken into account when roasting.
    THIS IS WHY WE DON'T DO IT.
  • Once each bean origin is roasted to its optimum level, different bean types are blended together to produce the lively distinctive blends for which we are now renowned.
  • We have sound quality control and product development. Our roasters always have their eye on new beans and ways to enhance our range and quality. To this end we’re cupping every week, checking flavour profiles and roasting techniques to ensure the best results for each origin prior to blending.
  • We provide Barista Training, a Cafe Set-up and Consultancy Service, Technical Support second to none and we react quickly to your needs.
