Greetings from the Green Bean Team!

Last year we started a wonderful partnership with the Wolgan Valley Resort, owned by Emirates. This is a six star, ecologically minded resort that is incredibly well set up to cater for the “hardship challenged” of our society. True to their philosophy they have decided to roast daily with the Green Bean Roaster to back up their quality assurance with the freshest possible coffee.
Look out an article in the February edition of BeanScene Magazine that profiles Dwane Goodman, the Food and Beverage Executive in charge of the operation.

This week we’re profiling Kimel – PeaBerry, a wonderful bean from Papua New Guinea that gives us a lot of joy.
