A little taste of Sumatra, and a whole lot to love.
Introducing our latest single origin, Indonesia Ribang Gayo, hailing from the lush highlands of Aceh Tengah, Sumatra.

Produced by the Ribang Gayo Musara Cooperative, a collective of over 350 smallholder farmers, this naturally processed beauty is bursting with juicy strawberry and red berry notes, delicious caramel sweetness and a silky milk chocolate finish.

Rich, fruity, beautifully balanced and just a little bit indulgent. This one’s a real crowd-pleaser.

Freshly roasted and ready for your next favourite brew.
Now available online.

Happy International Coffee Day!
We’re celebrating the only way we know how, sharing some delicious single origins and doing tastings over at Corrs Westgarth.

Wherever you are today, we hope you’ve got a good coffee in hand.

And a big cheers to the growers, producers, farmers, buyers, roasters, baristas and all the coffee people along the way who make this little daily ritual possible.

May you all be as excited about coffee as Lars is!

Happy International Coffee Day from The Little Marionette 🩵

The Tasting Room in Rozelle is looking for our next barista to join the crew 3-5 days a week. We’re after someone who knows their way around a coffee machine, cares about what’s in the cup, and is just as good with people as they are beans.
Minimum 12 months barista experience is a must. A good attitude, attention to detail and an appreciation for excellent coffee certainly won’t hurt either.
Sound like you? Come pour with us.

From maths teacher to coffee mastermind.
High in the mountains of Buesaco, Nariño, third-generation producer Huver Castillo is doing some pretty clever things with coffee.
His family has been growing at El Paseo for more than 20 years, but Huver, a former mathematics teacher has brought his own particular brand of precision to the farm. Case in point: this Black Honey Caturra.

Grown at 1,750–1,950 MASL, the cherries undergo an extended fermentation using a culture developed from the coffee’s own mosto and fermented berry pulp. A little science, a lot of good coffee.
The result? Blackberry, raspberry, tropical fruits, rounded out with a smooth chocolate finish.
Bright. Juicy. A little wild. Very, very good.
Now pouring and available online, link in bio.

We took our cold brew. Gave it a cinnamon hug. Added a pinch of salt. Called it a day.

Our Salted Cinnamon Cold Brew is now pouring.

You’ve been warned.
