November Coffee was born at the start of this year with the main goal to make good coffee accessible to all kiwis.. Their overarching principles are be kind, be calm, and be gentle.

November Coffee Co. are your typical Kiwis who love a good cup of coffee. Their team may be small, but it's proof that great things often come from brilliant minds working together. Each member brings a unique passion and dedication to the table, fuelling our collective mission to craft a great coffee.

The image of a man in work boots, pushing a wheelbarrow filled with coffee beans into the sunset, perfectly encapsulates the essence of the team. It symbolises the hard work, dedication, and the journey towards creating something truly special. Just as the sunset marks the end of a day and the promise of a new beginning, each batch of November coffee beans reflects their relentless pursuit of quality, creativity, and the ideal cup of coffee. 

You may be wondering why the name November? 

November is late spring in New Zealand. Summer is just around the corner and temperatures rise steadily throughout the month. In many ways with the climatic sweet spot not too hot and not too cold. November is often a time of reflection, a calm before the storm at the end of the year. It’s a time to pause, look back, celebrate successes, and learn from experiences. With this new brand of coffee, November aim to provide the regular punter with an experience that captures the sweet spot of coffee flavour.

This month you are sampling the Harvest Roast, which is a blend of Indian, Tanzanian, and Java beans

Indian Beans: The Indian beans are roasted to a medium-dark level, which accentuates their chocolate and spice notes while maintaining a smooth and balanced profile.

Tanzanian Beans: Tanzanian beans are roasted in a way to preserve their bright acidity and fruity flavours, ensuring a lively and refreshing cup.

Java Beans: The Java beans are roasted to a medium level to highlight their full-bodied and earthy qualities, creating a rich and satisfying base for their blend.

The dedication to quality and craftsmanship is evident in every batch they roast. They approach roasting as an art form, meticulously roasting each origin separately to unlock its unique characteristics. The small-batch roasting method allows monitoring and adjustment of the process to achieve the perfect roast for each type of bean.

This hands-on approach enables precise adjustments to the roast profile, bringing out the best in each bean and maintaining the integrity of the blend.

The Harvest Roast Blend features a rich, bold profile perfect for those who crave a robust coffee experience. Indulge in the intricate flavours of dark chocolate, mocha, and berries that intertwine to create a complex and satisfying cup. Each sip reveals layers of taste, with the smooth, low acidity ensuring an enjoyable and lingering finish. This blend is an exceptional choice for coffee enthusiasts seeking depth and character in every sip.

The team at November enjoy this blend as a long black in the morning and a flat white in the afternoon. The flat white brings out rich cocoa notes, offering a delightful mocha flavour.

Try them both and let us know your thoughts in the Facebook or Instagram, and as usual head to November Coffee to learn more about the team at November.
