Coffee worth waking up for.
Single-origin beans roasted weekly in our Ponsonby roastery. From farm to cup — never stale, never rushed, always worth the pour.
Single-origin beans roasted weekly in our Ponsonby roastery. From farm to cup — never stale, never rushed, always worth the pour.
We source directly from farms in Ethiopia, Colombia, and Guatemala. Small batches, roasted every Tuesday, shipped every Wednesday. Your beans are never more than a few days old.
We started Kōwhai because we were tired of stale supermarket coffee pretending to be specialty. So we built a roastery, partnered with farmers we trust, and now we pour the same coffee we roast — right here in Ponsonby.
Our full story
Bright, floral, with notes of jasmine and stone fruit. A crowd favourite that drinks beautifully as a pour-over or a filter. Light roast, single farm, fully traceable.
"Best flat white in Ponsonby — and that's not a small claim. The Ethiopian single origin changed what I thought coffee could taste like."
