Local NSW Coffee Roaster Dazzles on the Global Stage
In an impressive display at the Golden Bean World Series, Walcha Coffee Pty Ltd has been awarded two silver medals in the fiercely contested ‘Milk’ and ‘Super Automatic’ categories. This achievement places Walcha Coffee among the elite, showcasing the exceptional quality of its blends against top competitors, primarily from the USA, China, Australia, and New Zealand.
Founder Cameron Hayton Reflects on the Journey and Victory
“Our path to the Golden Bean World Series was forged by our successes at last year’s Australasian Golden Bean. Achieving recognition among the world’s best is a significant milestone for our team, our community, and our relentless pursuit of coffee perfection. These accolades embody the hard work, skill, and passion embedded in every bean we roast. Special thanks to the ingenious farmer Miguel in Colombia, our dedicated team, especially Nathan & Sharon, and our loyal customers, and our supportive community. These victories are yours as much as they are ours. Together, we look forward to brewing many more award-winning cups.”
The Journey to Award-Winning Blends
Our winning journey was a collaborative effort, from selecting the finest crops with Raihaan Esat’s (Last year’s overall World Series Champion) guidance to the expert roasting by Cameron Hayton in Brisbane. The innovative blend intended to capture the essence of pavlova exceeded our expectations, creating a complex and delightful taste profile.
The Essence of the Golden Bean World Series
The Golden Bean World Series, a prestigious coffee roasting competition, was founded to celebrate the artistry of coffee roasters worldwide. With a commitment to inclusivity and excellence, the competition has become the world’s largest and really cornerstone event, connecting the coffee community from farm to cup. Last year in Hawaii, this year, Melbourne, Australia, hosted the world\’s top roasters in a testament to coffee excellence.
