Coffee alchemy

Sydney Royal Fine Food Show 2009:

We're proud to announce that Coffee Alchemy has a set of blingy accolades to display!

Espresso Category: Silver (Paracelsus Punch) Bronze (Seeking St Germain)

Plunger Category: Bronze (Gossamer Gold)

My Goodness! Galileo!
Introducing a blend especially developed for our shop front, Flint and Steel, this is our standard bearer for cappuccinos, lattes and other milk drinks. Its rich notes of chocolates and nuts fill the mouth and linger long after the last sip.

World Cup Tasters Competition

Coffee Alchemy is proud to announce our very own roaster Hazel de los Reyes is the Australian Coffee Cupping Champion. The inaugural AASCA Australian Cupping Championship was held on Sunday 29 April 2007 in Adelaide. Hazel won identifying all 8 sets correctly in the Finals in 3 mins 06 seconds.

May the Brew be with You Hazel!
What is coffee cupping?
"Cupping is the technique used by cuppers to evaluate the flavor profile of a coffee. To understand the minor differences between coffee growing regions, it is important to cup coffees from around the world side-by-side. Cupping is also used to evaluate a coffee for defects or to create coffee blends." Coffeeresearch.org

It's Raining Medals

Coffee Alchemy was awarded Gold (Filter Coffee Category), Silver (Filter Retail Category), Bronze (Espresso Category) and another Bronze (Organic Category) in the CafeBiz Golden Bean Coffee Roaster Competition 2006. We are now working hard to turn the our Silver and Bronze awards to Gold for next year's competition. Ahhh... the work of an Alchemist is never over!
