Local
We're Auckland based, home of the largest Polynesian population in the world! Our roastery in Glen Eden is where all our choice kokos are made. You can buy from us online or in-store. We're also in selected outlets.

Pacific
We come from the same place our ingredients do so have a deep understanding of Pacific culture. Our Koko is not just Pacific, we are too!
-
Premium
We don't dabble in lots of different things just to fill a catalogue. We like to master one thing then be really good at that! Our koko tastes great for a reason.
-
Roasters
Our koko are roasted using premium ingredients from Pacific farms in Samoa, Vanuatu, Papua New Guinea, and the Solomon Islands. We're proud of that!
