Old George Coffee (Bowen House) - Wellington Central
About Old George Coffee (Bowen House)
The 'Old George Coffee' brand is a tribute to my mentor.
Arguablythe best coffee man in the southern hemisphere, coffee consultant
George Kepper.
George was in his 70's when in early 1987,
after taking over the Woodward St Belaroma shop, I first spent time with him in the SydneyRoseville Belaroma Coffee Roasting shop.
On that occasion we spent several hours going over the finer details of coffee roasting on the 12 kg. Bath Menadino roaster, followed by a cupping session in a very small kitchen with much slurping and spitting as we tasted and commented onthe roasts we had done and some other coffee's from the Kenneth RoadBelaroma factory.
On several visits to Sydney over the next few years I took samplesof my New Zealand version of Belaroma Supreme and gratefully receivedhis comment,
'its perfect! You've done it!'
The joy that we felt as twocoffee fanatics tasting a great blend is hard to explain.
Sadly he passed away peacefully in his sleep one Sunday after doing the roasting
at the Roseville shop for Monday.
Rest in peace Georgeyour enthusiasm lives on in every cup of coffee!
Tony Gibbs.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ My favourite coffee shop when I come to Wellington. The service is always great and their coffee is excellent. Look for their other location near The Reserve Bank of NZ of the Terrace. You can also buy their roasted coffee.
