If you want to experience the splendor of Australian coffee, this is an opportunity not to be missed.

In many ways, Australia is a country that keeps revealing surprises. And the high-quality coffee produced here may be one of the most unexpected of them all.

Australian coffee is quite outstanding in quality, with a soft, smooth mouthfeel and a rather distinctive caffeine bitterness. Unfortunately, only a very small portion of the output makes it to the export market, because the production process requires high labor costs. You could also say that intense sunlight acts as a natural constraint—the weather is too hot for cheap mechanical equipment to be of use, so picking can only be done by hand, which undoubtedly drives up overall production costs.
