Meet Oliver

Want delicious, freshly roasted single-origin coffee delivered to your door? You've come to the right place. 

What's in the coffee roaster?
During the year the coffee choice changes to give you the chance to experience a variety of single-origin flavours. The origins are most often from farms in Africa and South & Central America, with occasional appearances of speciality PNG beans. You'll get detailed notes on the region and farmers who grow the coffee with your package.

What does it taste like?
Every month the coffee is roasted medium to medium-dark, which is perfect for espresso and any coffee with milk added. It's the roast style that won Roasted On a Golden Bean Award. The roast style produces a big, bold, chocolatey flavour that shines through perfectly in a latte, flat white, cappuccino, piccolo, macchiato and short black. If you prefer a filter or long black coffee that oozes body (rather than fruity/floral flavours) then you'll love this roast style.

When will I get it?
Orders are despatched on the 20th of each month.  Shipping times are typically 2 working days within the Adelaide metro area, and 3 - 5 working days everywhere else.

What quantities do you sell in?
Roasted On coffee is sold in 220g increments, providing outstanding per/kg pricing regardless of quantity. Depending on how much you order, it's packaged in 220g and 450g bags.

How fresh will it be?
The coffee is roasted each week, so when you open the bag, all those delicious aromas that only fresh coffee can provide will fill your kitchen. Buying coffee this fresh means you'll get to enjoy all the subtle top notes that are absent in anything from a supermarket.

Beans for the next generation of coffee lovers... Shade-grown single-origin coffee with free access to the Reusable Bag Program. One tree planted by Trees For Life with every bag purchased. What's not to love!

Shade-grown coffee is better for the environment, better for soil fertility and better for farmers. By choosing Oliver's Roast you will help future generations enjoy more speciality coffee and explore more wild places.

What is shade-grown coffee?

Shade-grown coffee is produced from coffee plants grown under a canopy of trees. It promotes natural ecological relationships and is an offshoot of agricultural permaculture.

How do shade trees help?

The forest-like structure of shade coffee farms provides habitat for a great number of migratory and resident birds, reptiles, ants, butterflies, bats, plants and other organisms. Of all agricultural land uses, shade-grown coffee is most likely the crop that supports the highest diversity of migratory birds, native flora and fauna.

Deep-rooted shade trees recover soil nutrients from deeper soil horizons and transport them to their leaves. When the leaves fall and rot, they provide organic matter or manure which is released to the coffee plantation. This organic matter improves the soil texture and water retention thus availing the much-needed water to the coffee.

Shade trees can reduce the need for artificial fertilizers, pesticides and herbicides. Shade trees are often leguminous, meaning they fix nitrogen in the soil. With natural nitrogen-fixing, the need for fertilizer is reduced.

Simultaneously, shade trees obscure sunlight and make it harder for weeds to grow, reducing the need for herbicides. Often, when shade trees are removed, weeds spread more quickly because they have less competition for both sunlight and nutrients.

Shade trees can provide a natural habitat for the insect ecosystems that keep a variety of pests and diseases from becoming farm-wide epidemics. As such, fewer pesticides are needed.

Reusable Bag Program

Oliver's Roast subscribers can choose to join the Reuse program free of charge. (It's optional, and you can read all the details here.)

A new tree with every bag

Shade-grown coffee is great for the environment in producing countries but Oliver's Roast goes one step further and makes a positive impact on the South Australian environment. For every bag sold Trees For Life will plant a tree to help revegetate our land. More places to bushwalk, more trails to run, more wild things close to home.

Who's Oliver?
