ALL ROADS LEAD TO CUP (read coffee) GLORY

Someone was busy tagging a nice blue line right through New Plymouth last night (cheers!)...directing everyone past our fine establishment on the way to some stadium, holding some big sporting event, sometime in the very near future....very keen to paint an intersection in right here!

 

ON THE ROAD AGAIN

Submitted by Paul on Wed, 24/08/2011 - 10:43am

Through the snow and ice of the polar blast that was last week, I travelled to Dunedin to check that the Toast Rack (read Dunedin's new covered stadium) was ready for rugby action and to cup some great coffees with the very keen staff and customers of RHUBARB Cafe in Roslyn.

Owners Sam and Helen have been serving up Ozone Coffee for 7 years now at RHUBARB and were the first cafe cafe up on the Roslyn hill for some time (maybe THE first) when they opened. Adjoining the cafe is their wine shop stocked with some very fine wines and their exhaustive wine knowledge is phenomenal.

A group of 35 coffee fans braved the cold and tasted 8 coffees with me...all the coffees on the cupping table tasted great and thier was plenty of questions and discussion about all things coffee. 
Thanks to Sam and Helen for the invite and putting on such a great night....if you are down in Dunedin seek them out for a coffee, one of their legendary cheese muffins and some mighty fine wines.

Just one of the great wines available from Rhubarb Cafe....smooth, full bodied, rich fruit flavours, balanced. 

Ever wondered what happens when the intercom on the plane breaks down?

OZONE CUPPING WORKSHOPS GO ON THE ROAD

Submitted by Paul on Wed, 10/08/2011 - 10:38am

Last Wednesday we were invited by PUMICE in Hamilton to hold a coffee tasting workshop with members of their popular PUMICE Foodies Club.

A great group of coffee enthusiaists came along to broaden their coffee minds beyond espresso, and get a behind the scenes look at what us coffee professionals go through to select and purchase our green coffees. 

Thanks to David, Ryan and Leigh for hosting us at the iconic PUMICE Restaurant, Cafe and Deli, and all those attended.
Thanks also to Vicki from NOURISH Magazine for taking some great photos of the cupping - check out nourishmagazine.co.nz for Vicki's blog about her introduction to cupping coffee.

The road trip to (or from) Hamilton is full iconic views and Ozone coffee along the way...grab a coffee and a whitebait sandwich at River Run, Mokau and take in the sights.

Fat Pigeon Cafe in Piopio has a great backyard, awesome people, a lush menu and the mighty Fair Trade blend 

 

Stop in at Carroll St Bistro for a Empire blend coffee in Te Kuiti....Ryan was telling me about the French wine night coming up when I called in Monday....will be a great night!

33 COFFEES

Submitted by Paul on Tue, 12/07/2011 - 4:44pm

We now have available these quirky little coffee journals.
It’s tough to hold a notepad in one hand, a pencil in the other, and have another hand left for your cup. Taking notes with 33 Coffees is as simple as checking a few boxes and entering a few basic facts.

33 Coffees is made with 100% recycled papers and all sorts of really earth friendly inks, and each also has a little actual coffee in the brown inks used. Neat!
