I'm starting this thread anew largely because I can't find the old one. I was recommended to try some Australian grown and processed green beans from the place in New South Wales recently. They also roast there so I got some of their blend as well as the wet and dry processed greens to try. I have really enjoyed trying all of their offerings although found their roasted beans just a little dark for my tastes. They were still frankly very good!! The name of the place is Ashton's and I know nothing of them apart from that I've enjoyed they are offering is far more than anything Australian grown being I can think of in my recent history.
Are there any other Aussie gems out there that folk enjoy that I'm missing??
I remember having some Aussie beans from Another forum supplier and then the same lot from Merlo here in Brisbane. I thought frankly thought the beans were defective. Nothing I could do could get a good cup out of these particular beans and when I saw that lot at Merlo bought them to see how the experts handle them. Even the cup they made me at the roastery had a kerosene aftertaste and with their roasted I had no success. Imagine how perplexed I was when Forum folk were reporting that they were fabulous and had notes, notes and notes.
Well, now I'm onto and finally enjoying some Aussie beans and I want to know what's out there that you all like.
