Our customers know Good coffee

We get comments like this because we never compromise on quality. We roast in small batches to showcase the unique characteristics of each coffee. Then it’s over to our quality control team to sample every batch before it makes its way out the door to you.

Easy to order and and fast delivery. Was recommended to try this local roaster by a coffee snob friend. Ordered 1kg of coffee and some brew equipment, everything turned up on time and was great quality. Definitely recommend the coffee from Myanmar!

Product Review

OMG if you haven’t tried this coffee you need to. How refreshing is it to drink coffee that hasn’t been over roasted and you can taste all the individual flavours of each bean? I’m hooked. Knowing it’s ethically sourced makes it taste even better. Thanks OQ.

Product review

I’ve been buying this coffee for 2 years now and it’s honestly the best coffee I’ve had so far. The Vietnam K’Ho is definitely my fave but all their coffees are bloody delicious. I was a little late placing my order sometimes so now I order through their subscription service which is super convenient, plus saves me paying shipping! 10/10 recommend to anyone who loves coffee.

Our relationship with coffee has changed since we have been drinking Old Quarter. Our whole household experiences an uplifting and focused feeling from OQ. We've ditched the jitters from generic branded coffee. The friendly and professional service is a breath of fresh air and we love supporting their ethos and vision. We'll never turn back!

Product review

I’m a picky coffee drinker and after trying every brand in the Northern Rivers, I very happily settled on Old Quarter. The coffee is smooth and strong, never too bitter, and their decaf is also great. Not only that, but the business functions really ethically and sustainably, which is a big consideration for me. 10/10 all round.

Coffee that makes you Feel Good

Unfortunately, the term ‘ethical’ is thrown around so much nowadays that it’s hard to know what it even means.

So here (are) our 8 key principles, so you can see there's never any harm, but lots and lots of good.

PERSONAL
RELATIONSHIPS

This is the only way to ensure our coffees have zero exploitation in the supply chain.

FARMERS SET THEIR
PRICE

Prices are based on farmers unique requirements, so they can direct their own future.

PURCHASE HARVESTS
IN ADVANCE

Our year-on-year purchasing guarantees, means better cash flow and security for our farming partners.

SUPPORT ETHNIC
MINORITY PEOPLE

90% of our coffees are grown by ethnic minorities. Cool hey? Celebrating cultural diversity inspires our personal ‘Daily Happy’.

FAVOUR SMALL
HOLDERS

Working with small farms ensures traceability and supports diverse and organic agriculture.

EXCLUSIVELY SOUTH-
EAST ASIA

Southeast Asian coffees are delicious but underrepresented in the Aussie coffee industry. We’re here to change that.

DIRECTLY SUPPORT
COMMUNITY PROJECTS

Our Optimism Exchange programs are identified by the community themselves, not by us. Our direct support leads to better outcomes

ORGANIC AS THE
STANDARD

It’s better for the planet and better for us. Plus, less inputs on the farm means better economic viability for farmers. Win-Win.
