OUR COFFEE /
ZEST IS COFFEE. AND OUR COFFEE IS FLAVOUR. WE ARE SIMPLY FASCINATED WITH FLAVOUR.
FLAVOUR DETERMINES A THUMBS UP OR A THUMBS DOWN; A SMILE FROM A FROWN. AT ZEST, WE’RE LASER-FOCUSED ON FLAVOUR, ALWAYS PUTTING FLAVOUR FIRST. ZEST INVITES CONSUMERS ON A JOURNEY FILLED WITH PALATABLE DISCOVERIES AND GOOD COFFEE.
Every cup we roast is crafted with flavour as the ultimate goal. From sourcing to roasting to brewing, we obsess over every step to ensure consistency, clarity, and character. Our journey begins at origin, working directly with farmers who share our pursuit of excellence. From there, our roasters blend art and science with world-class equipment and technology to unlock the very best in each bean. But flavour doesn’t stop at the roaster — it lives in the café, in the hands of baristas. That’s why we invest in training, resources, and tools to empower coffee professionals to deliver memorable flavour experiences, cup after cup. For us, coffee isn’t just a beverage — it’s an exploration, a craft, and a connection.

ESPRESSIST BLENDS /
At Zest, we believe an Espressist is someone who plays the espresso the way a pianist plays music — with skill, precision, and soul. Our Espressist blends are designed with the Australian café culture in mind, where milk-based coffee reigns supreme. Sourced and roasted to achieve sweetness, balance, and depth, these blends are made to shine in flat whites, lattes, and cappuccinos — while still standing strong in espresso and long black. Behind every blend lies years of cupping, tweaking, and feedback from baristas and café partners, ensuring flavour that sells the second cup. Whether you’re a café dialling in your house blend or a home brewer chasing café-quality flavour, our Espressist range delivers consistency and delight.
