Small town coffee roaster wins international awards

Walcha is a small country town of around 3,000 people, nestled in the New England Tablelands. It’s the oldest colonial settlement in the region, surrounded by spectacular national parks and renowned for its natural beauty. The small town is also home to Walcha Coffee, a family-owned business that’s killing it on the world stage.

Fuelled by local resident Cameron Hayton’s love for exceptional coffee, Walcha Coffee has emerged as more than a local brew over the years. It’s now a symbol of community pride and a testament to the artistry of coffee craftsmanship. Established in 2020, Walcha Coffee has quickly grown from a small town venture into a cherished cornerstone of the community.

“Our journey began with an unwavering dedication to quality. From sourcing the finest speciality-grade coffee beans to meticulous roasting, we deliver coffee that makes a cup that embodies the essence of our town.” Says owner of Walcha Coffee Cameron Hayton.

Evolving into an iconic local brand, Walcha Coffee‘s commitment to quality is not just a tagline; it’s a promise upheld by its skilled roasters. Recently, this commitment received international acclaim with prestigious Silver and Bronze medals from the Australasian Golden Bean Awards. Walcha Coffee’s success isn’t just about providing the coffee to brew the perfect cup; it’s about fostering pride and unity within the community.

“These awards mean the world to us at Walcha Coffee. Winning medals in the Golden Bean competition for the second-year running is a testament to the hard work and passion poured into every batch. It’s not just about the medals; it’s about the pride we take in crafting exceptional coffee. This recognition motivates our team to continue pushing boundaries and sharing the best of Walcha with coffee lovers everywhere.

“Winning awards like this really puts Walcha Coffee on the international stage. To win these medals—especially silvers—against some of the greatest roasters in the global industry is a huge feat for a small-town company like ours.

” The silver medals qualify Walcha Coffee to compete in the World Series roasting alongside global coffee brands and companies in North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia.” Says Hayton.

Walcha Coffee supplies coffee to supermarkets, boutique outlets, cafes, bakeries, and service stations. For more information head to their website.
