Nestled against the backdrop of the lake's mesmerising turquoise waters and the pristine alpine air of the majestic Southern Alps, our family-owned venture, Southern Sky Roasters, emerged. Over months, we carefully transformed a shipping container into a chic and functional workspace. Recognising the importance of supporting local partnerships, we collaborated with Stonker Roasters, a Christchurch-based company, to handcraft a bespoke roaster that is the heart of our operations. Committed to ethical practices, we source organic, fair trade coffee beans imported through Trade Aid Importers to support fair and sustainable farming practices globally. Then, artisanal roasting techniques are employed to bring out the unique flavours of the beans, ensuring each batch we roast tastes exceptional and mirrors the tranquillity and purity of our surroundings. Now, coffee beans are roasted under the vast, starlit sky that inspired its name.
