Collection: WHITE LABEL ROASTING

What is White Label Roasting?

White label roasting (or private label roasting) is when a coffee roaster, produces coffee for another company to sell under their own name. White Label Roasting is a great way for new or emerging coffee brands to get a head start in the industry without the large overheads that can come with a coffee roasting business. It also allows new roasters to curate and perfect their roasting and develop blends before they’ve expanded into the market. By allowing us to take care of the roasting, you can invest more time into building your brand and avoid the large costs of running a roastery.

In this time, we’ve developed ongoing global relationships with the green bean farmers of PNG, Ethiopia, South America and beyond.

When White Label Roasting with us, you will have exclusive access to these green beans, and can be assured that you are roasting for quality and sustainably. During the green bean selection stage, you’ll have the opportunity to choose beans based on acidity, body, and flavour. Our team will also guide you in selecting beans that match your desired roast profile, depth, and after-taste. We believe in no dream too big, we can accommodate any business model, from an Online (E-Commerce) Business to a Franchise model, with production capabilities from a 30kg batch to larger volumes (100kg+).

Blend Development:

If you’re looking to develop a blend, Gina and the team can assist you in curating and perfecting a desired blend. Blend Develop Strategy will allow us to discuss and analyse the flavour profiles you wish to achieve for your coffee, whether it be a heavy bodied blend, low acidity, or something tea-like. This planning phase will allow us to outline who your target market is and then get creative with your blend to set yourself apart from other competitors in the industry.

Cupping & Tasting:

Whether you’re just beginning or consider yourself a coffee expert, cupping and tasting is one of the most important stages to understand when developing a coffee roasting business. The cupping process allows you to recognise what an origin can bring to the cup and gives each bean an identity. Gina uses both the “SCA Rating” and “Cup of Excellence” scoring methods to understand the quality of the coffee and test for any defects in the green beans. Mastering this stage will allow you to become quickly respectable as a roaster and demonstrate that your passion goes beyond making a quick sale.
