Want to bring your product to life?

We’re selecting a few brands for a free custom outer bag development run.

Most drip bag launches start with generic packaging and stickers. It works for testing, but it doesn’t represent a finished product.

This is for brands ready to move beyond that stage.

MQ Coffee x Custom Drip Bag
Packaging Run :
Includes custom outer bag sampling

To take part:
• 2kg roasted coffee beans
• $100 sample run fee

You receive:
50 fully branded drip bags using your packaging design

⸻

Designs finalised by end of July
Delivered early September (estimated)

If you’re building for retail shelves, hotels, or accommodation channels and want your first product to look market-ready, DM for more info.

Ōtautahi, you were an absolute treat.

Big thanks to for organising, hosting, and the epic prizes, and to for the competition coffee and extra goodies.

Another round of DBBC done and dusted, bringing together an awesome mix of brewers, home brewers and baristas side by side, all on an even playing field.

That’s what DBBC is about: good people, great coffee, and just giving it a go. No fancy gear, no pressure, just brewing, tasting, and enjoying the process.

Huge congratulations to this round’s winners Ben 🥇 and Jess 🥈

You’ve both secured your place in the Grand Finals this December, competing for an unforgettable origin trip to Yunnan, harvest season right at the source 🌱🇨🇳

See you in Wellington next round!

Alright Brewers - next stop: Christchurch.

The Drip Bag Brewers Championship is landing in Ōtautahi, and we’re looking for the city’s best cup from a drip bag. Simple format, serious skill. Grind is already locked in - so it all comes down to your water ratio, timing, agitation, and control.

You’ll be judged on:
– Aroma
– Flavour
– Mouthfeel
– Aftertaste

No fancy gear. Just technique.

To get dialled in, grab a practice pack online or in-store at Opal HQ. It contains 3 competition day drip bags!!
Practice packs will be landing at select cafés across Christchurch, more details coming as they drop.

Get your practise in and rock up on the day.

Saturday 23 May (NZSCA AGM weekend)
📍 Opal Coffee Specialty Green Coffee,
⏰ 11:30am start

Christchurch has an epic specialty coffee community - so we’re expecting a proper showdown.

Get amongst it.
