Coffee Supreme

For more than three decades, we’ve focused on sourcing, roasting and serving coffee with care.

Coffee Supreme started with Reds Cafe in Wellington. At the time, specialty coffee was still finding its footing in New Zealand. We were curious about flavour, consistency and how far coffee could go when quality became the standard.

That curiosity shaped the business. We began roasting to control quality and to better understand the coffees we were serving. From there, we grew steadily, driven by a belief that coffee should be reliable, expressive and enjoyable every day.

We were part of the early wave of specialty coffee in New Zealand and Australia, helping shape a cafe culture where quality became the standard, not the exception. So we began travelling. We built long-term relationships at origin. We paid premiums for quality and consistency. We learned, improved and refined. We still do.

Each season, we source green coffee through trusted partnerships and roast it with respect for its character. Our approach is disciplined and deliberate. Consistency matters. Systems matter. Relationships matter.

Today, Coffee Supreme works with cafe partners, hospitality groups and retail customers across New Zealand, Australia and Japan, delivering specialty coffee built on long-term relationships and consistent quality. We believe quality and hospitality go hand in hand. We are as focused on supporting our cafe partners as we are on flavour in the cup. In Japan, there is a word for it: Kaizen. Continuous improvement. Raise the bar, then raise it again.

We have been roasting since 1993. We are proud of that. But longevity only matters if you keep earning it. Our purpose is to enhance people’s lives by cultivating connection, creativity and collaboration through coffee. We’ve been working towards that for more than three decades. And we’ll keep showing up to do it, every day.

We take care to buy the good stuff. It costs more. It takes longer. It requires planning, travel and trust. But it’s worth it.

Great coffee starts with great green coffee. The flavour in your cup is directly linked to the quality of the coffee we source. That’s why coffee sourcing has always been the foundation of what we do as a specialty coffee roaster.

We don’t buy from a warehouse across town. Securing the coffees we love involves months of communication, logistics and coordination to bring exceptional green coffee from origin to our roasteries in New Zealand, Australia and Japan.

Coffee Supreme sources coffee through long-term producer relationships, trusted exporters and direct trade partnerships built on consistency and transparency. We believe sustainability in coffee is built through long-term relationships.

The producers we work with know what we are looking for. We know the level of care that goes into their harvest. We pay premiums for Supreme quality and consistency because that is what it takes to secure exceptional specialty coffee year after year.
