Great coffee starts long before it reaches our roastery in Marrickville. Every cup we serve is built on years of relationships, trust, and a shared respect for quality and care.
Relationships at origin
Partnerships built on respect, shared goals, and good coffee. We believe the best coffees come from long-term partnerships. Many of our producers have worked with us for years, refining the characteristics of the coffee we seek.These relationships are built on mutual respect and open communication. Travelling to visit our producing partners is key to nurturing relationships that matter.
Consistency and quality
From origin to roastery, every step is about consistency. Every shipment we receive is cupped and compared against its pre-ship sample to confirm that the coffee matches the quality and profile we expect. It’s a process that demands time and focus, but it’s what ensures every batch of Deluca coffee delivers on flavour and reliability.
More than a supply chain
Every coffee has a story. Every cup connects people. Sourcing coffee is not just about logistics and contracts. It’s about people, patience, and purpose. Every bag of green coffee represents someone’s work, someone’s story, and a shared pursuit of excellence.
Our sourcing process
We travel to taste coffee with our partners regularly. Relationships built over years are important to access the coffees we need.
Our team stays in close contact with each region we buy from, monitoring harvests, weather, and quality throughout the year.
We pre-select green samples from producers who have consistently delivered exceptional cup quality.
Every coffee is physically assessed for defects, moisture, and density before roasting for sensory analysis.
Once roasted, our team of Q Graders evaluate fragrance, sweetness, acidity, and balance to ensure it meets our standards.
Our goal is to let the coffee speak for itself. To reveal the full potential of what Mother Nature has gave us in a cup for you to enjoy.
