Sixpence - Bright
"Located at the foothills of the Victorian High Country in the township of Bright, Sixpence Coffee Roasters is a family-owned and operated small-batch roastery dedicated to crafting epic coffee experiences for our local community and afar.
Our passion for coffee is evident in everything we do, with care and attention given at every step from bean to cup, to bring out the best vibrant flavours. Our flagship brew bar, located at 15 Wills Street, Bright, was an old mechanic’s garage converted into a modern retail space. This unique, laid-back space provides an inviting place to talk coffee, buy beans, and settle in with a cup of our latest batch. We are thrilled to share our coffee with you!"
"Our Fantastic Seasonal blend is a real treat, and a staff favourite! This blend is based on the smooth bodies of our Brazilian and Colombian varietals. With a lighter mouthfeel and lower acidity, this blend rings a smooth caramel body together with a balanced and delicate acidity to create a stunning, well balanced coffee. Suited for both black and white applications, with a view to versatility between brew techniques, this is sure to be a favourite.. for any season!"

"Some days are harder than others. That's why we developed Easy Days.. to make your day just that little bit easier! Carefully selected by the passionate team here at Sixpence, this brand new blend is a fruity, chocolate treat.
With the natural dried apricot notes from the excellent Nuevo Oriente out of Guatemala bringing the sweetness and punchy fruit notes and the full, rich chocolate body of a washed Honduran coffee, you can expect everyone's favourite treat, a choc coated apricot. Perfectly sweet with milk and deliciously decadent as a black coffee, this is one for any occasion.. you might even say that it's for Easy Days!"

Nelson Rodriguez - Colombia
"With the family farms hailing from the hills of Pensil, Nelson and his sisters are second generation farmers, in charge of the overall production of these special lots.
With a focus on organic horticulture, they provide all their own crops with on farm produced fertilisers, ensuring the best quality and health of the crops they tend to.
This incredible bean has been harvested from lot 507, grown at 1780masl.
After picking, the crops are placed into wooden barrels where they are left for up to 36 hours before being pulped, washed and returned to the same barrels to further ferment. They are then dried on open beds under shade and finally placed in grain pro bags. This process ensures the highest quality and the optimum humidity for their prized beans."
