🚨 FRESH STOCK UPDATE, ZEST FAM! ☕️💥

It’s Thursday, and the shelves are looking extra beautiful with freshly roasted coffees ready for your weekend brews! ❤️

Here’s what’s fresh in the studio:

🌸 María Belén Díaz — Pink Bourbon Creation 🇨🇴
Semi-washed • Citrus fruits, red apple, vanilla & green tea

🌺 Huver Castillo — Rocket Flower 🇨🇴
Caturra • Washed • Florals, citrus fruits, brown sugar & cocoa

🍊 Karimikui Factory, Kirinyaga 🇰🇪
SL34 & SL28 varieties. A little taste of what makes Kenyan coffees so special!

✨ Jean Vilhena — Lot 41C, Geisha 🇧🇷
Brazilian Geisha is a rare and delicious find, and we’re stoked to have this one on the shelf!

🍓 Co-ferments from El Vergel Estate 🇨🇴
A few more special coffees from our long-time producing partners, Shady & Elias Bayter.

And while you’re here, meet Squeaky HOM 👃📣

Instead of squeezing a coffee bag and getting a noseful of CO₂, give Squeaky HOM a squeeze! It lets you smell the actual coffee grounds and get a better feel for the aromas before choosing your next bag. A little sensory preview before the first brew. 🤝☕️

Pop into the Richmond Sensory Studio, find your next favourite coffee, and stock up for whatever your weekend brewing plans look like!

See you soon, Zest fam! ❤️

Last week, Harry from Denmark Hill Kafe popped into our studio to share some love for our Cold Brew Concentrate! ☕️🧊🤝

What he loves most? The convenience and versatility. With our 2L and 10L bladders, you can get creative, mix it with your favourite ingredients, and serve up refreshing signature drinks in no time.

Harry shared two of their go-to recipes with us, perfect inspiration for the warmer days ahead! ☀️

🍋 LEMON COLD BREW

• ~60ml Cold Brew Concentrate
• Sparkling water
• 20–30ml fresh lemon juice
• Honey, to taste
• Fresh or dehydrated citrus for garnish
• Orange Angostura bitters (optional)

🍈 LIME COLD BREW TONIC

• ~60ml Cold Brew Concentrate
• Tonic water
• 20–30ml fresh lime juice
• Ginger syrup or fresh ginger + simple syrup
• Fresh or dehydrated citrus for garnish

Want more inspiration for your next signature drink? 👀 Head to the link in our bio to check out our recipe book and get mixing!

Big thanks to Harry and the team at Denmark Hill Kafe for sharing the love! ❤️

Signature drinks served in seconds?! 🧊☕️🤝

Summer isn’t officially here just yet, but it sure feels close! ☀️ And with the warmer days coming, cold coffee season is calling.

Our Cold Brew Concentrate is the hot product right now, even though it’s served cold 😉😂

We’re in Brisbane for the next two days as part of the Café & Coffee Experience at Food & Hospitality Week, and we’ve got a feeling Brisbane, you’re going to love this one!

Come taste our beautiful cold brew concentrates, refresh yourself, talk coffee with us, and explore what we can create for your business.

Together with our partners at Flo-Smart, we’ll be showcasing a business model with cold brew concentrates on tap. Perfect for the warmer season and serving signature drinks in seconds.

Fermentation is about more than just flavour. 👀☕

Thanks to James Hoffmann James Hoffmann & Lucia Solis Lucia Solis’ Fermentation Project, we’re sharing a side of our fermentation journey we’ve rarely told 💡

Less about wild flavours. More about control, consistency and helping coffee producers thrive.

Hey, this is Leo 👋

Our Head Roaster, a certified Q Grader, and an absolute legend. He’s behind most of the roasted beans that leave Zest, from roasting our blends to QC and making sure every coffee meets our standards.

It’s not often we see Leo in Richmond because he’s usually up at the warehouse, looking after his “little baby” — although there’s nothing little about this one 😂 Our Brambati roaster is probably about the same size as our whole studio!

But when he is here, we have a lot of fun doing QC, developing blends, brewing coffee and, of course, drinking way too much of it ☕️😂

Here, he’s brewing one of our special reserve coffees that we really love ❤️

Say hi to Leo 👋 and have a great Wednesday night!

Find yourself at Lost Bean. 🫘 ☕️

A few weeks ago, we made a stop at Lost Bean in Brisbane, and it reminded us why this spot deserves a little spotlight.

For the past 2.5 years, Amy and the team have been serving Zest in the heart of South Brisbane — creating a relaxed little spot built around the important things: good food, good drinks and good people.

On bar, you’ll find Blackbird doing its thing in milk, with African Mailman for espresso and black coffee.

And if you’re visiting, don’t leave without trying their Mont Blanc signature drink. We were absolutely blown away. 🤩 The food was stunning too 🤤

It’s the kind of place that makes a weekend morning (or afternoon) in Brisbane that much better.

Thanks, Amy and team, for continuing to fly the Zest flag in Brisbane. ❤️
