Ebony Coffee
2016 is a celebration for us at Ebony Coffee. 20 years of roasting in the Manawatu. We have been thrilled to grow our business and coffee knowledge with the small team who have been roasting, dealing direct with an estate grower or green bean suppliers, training and machinery in specialty coffee for years. It is a pleasure to support and put back into a very vibrant NZ coffee industry even though we are that small team. This is the second year we’ve sponsored the Meadowfresh Latte Art comps and this year is more poignant for us to sponsor as we have in our team, Andrew Feldon, a former competitor and finalist in these events. We wish all competitors all the very best… we understand the courage it takes to push yourselves in our field, in front of your peers and industry professionals.
