Sunday 15 June, noon, The Sapphire Room, Ponsonby Central, Auckland.
It’s been said that our Principal Sponsor in the Aotearoa Cup Tasters Championship ’25 knows a thing or two about coffee—and they certainly do!
A huge thank you to John Burton Ltd for sponsoring the event and sourcing the delicious coffees that will be cupped on the day. We’re stoked to have them back on board!
It’s official – the twelve coffees have dropped and are now available for purchase through John Burton for those wishing to buy ahead of the event. Of these 12 coffees, nine will be chosen for use on the day of the Aotearoa Cup Tasters Championship 2025!
