A legacy of Green Bean roasting passed down from our forefathers.

As one of the OG roasters of coffee beans, the Smith family have been pioneers in the Christchurch "bean scene" since the 1940s.

Each generation of Smith have spent childhoods in and around the espresso craft watching, learning and refining the process.

I'm pleased you've found us- and I'm sure you will be too.
