The Ōtautahi Blend

Medium-Dark Roast | Bold Colombia & Nutty Brazil
Your best day starts here.

This isn’t just coffee—it’s momentum in a cup. Roasted fresh in Ōtautahi Christchurch, The Ōtautahi is our flagship blend: bold, smooth, and crafted to fuel focus and elevate your daily ritual.

Why you’ll love it:

• Punches through milk beautifully for flat whites, lattes, and cappuccinos.

• Smooth enough to sip black for clarity and depth.

• Versatile and full-bodied—a blend with backbone and serious heart.

Tasting Experience:

• Aroma: Warm and inviting—think toasted nuts, dark chocolate, and a whisper of dried fruit.

• Flavour: Rich and punchy. Nutty Brazilian beans bring smooth sweetness, while Colombian origins add brightness and a subtle pop of acidity—layered with a caramel finish that makes every sip indulgent.

• Finish: Clean, slightly sweet, with lingering cocoa, roasted walnut, and caramel notes.

Why It Matters:
Every bag supports local jobs, local roasters, and local families. We’re 100% NZ-owned, and every cent stays here—not offshore. Plus, we source ethically and sustainably—so every cup feels good and tastes even better.

More Than Coffee—It’s Connection.
“He tangata, he tangata, he tangata.” It’s the people. Always the people. This blend is our love letter to Christchurch—tough, welcoming, grounded. A coffee that feels like home and always saves you a seat.
