Our Story
Launched in early 2024, we got our start roasting tiny batch sizes on our trusty 1kg all electric drum roaster.
Roasting lots of small batches meant we got to learn a lot of things, very quickly.
Fast forward to today, and we’re now a small batch micro roastery based outside of Vancouver, Canada, with a constantly changing lineup of exciting, seasonal coffees.
We focus exclusively on single origin lots, carefully sourced from some of the most talented and dedicated farmers and producers from around the world. From there, we do our best to roast them in a way that preserves and highlights the unique characteristics of each lot.
Why Single Origin Only?
From day one, we made the decision to only feature single origin coffees. No blends. And no exceptions.
We focus on single origin lots only, simply because that’s the type of coffees we love drinking.
Single origin lots give us the opportunity to explore a diverse range of flavour profiles, preserving and highlighting the hard work of the talented farmers and producers we partner with.
More than that, it means every coffee we launch is a unique representation of the origin, terroir, varietal and careful processing that went into creating it.
For us, that’s what great coffee is all about.
Driven By Curiosity
Just like our namesake Kea, we’re relentlessly curious, continuously driving to explore what’s possible in the vast and vibrant world of this tiny little seed.
From roast profiles to brew guides, we’re constantly tweaking, learning, and iterating on everything we do.
Our goal is to share coffees and experiences that challenge perceptions, encourage curiosity, and drive change.
