Marvel Street - Byron Bay
“We are a small coffee roasting business born in Byron Bay NSW Australia.
We began roasting coffee back in 2009, in a small shop on Marvell Street in the heart of Byron Bay. Those early days were full of experimentation and learning, and running a retail store and coffee roaster saw us quickly outgrow the space we were in. We moved to the Byron industrial area and decided to put all our focus and energy into roasting amazing coffee. 10 years on the team is Joe, Marc, Fergus, Shota, Rei, Nico and Linda, a strong and determined bunch of legends that love what they do.
We believe that coffee should have minimal intervention by not only the roaster but by the farmer during growing and processing. We select and roast coffees that are balanced, naturally sweet and free of defects. This philosophy gives us no choice but to buy the best quality coffee we can. On a community level, we try where possible to support businesses that operate with the intent to benefit their local community and environment, as a company we also operate with a similar mindset. You can find a map of where to drink our coffee here."

"Ahh Aricha, coffee from this washing station features on our menu almost every year. Vibrant, floral and complex coffee from Aricha is something we look forward to every Ethiopian harvest and this year's does not disappoint. The area is known for its rich red-brown clay soil, this fertile land allows the small-holder farmers of the region to grow delicious, sweet coffee along with other crops. Whilst not certified organic, most farmers in this region don't have access to fertilisers or pesticides, instead, they grow their coffee the same way it's been done for generations, using natural methods akin to permaculture."
