Growing the Future of New Zealand Coffee

New Zealand Coffee Producers Association (NZCPA) supports the development of a premium, specialty coffee production industry in New Zealand, Aotearoa — built on quality, innovation, and care for our land and people.

Welcome, Haere Mai

The coffee growing industry in New Zealand is currently emerging and small-scale, and this is exactly where its strength lies...

Harnessing our reputation for producing high quality food and beverage products, New Zealand's emerging coffee production industry is being established to produce premium quality coffee beans that are handled with care at every stage.

A product that is deeply connected with stories of origin, environmental sustainability, ethical practices, and kiwi innovation.

We're here to inform, connect, and develop collectively

NZCPA has been established to bring growers, researchers, and industry partners together to build knowledge, develop capability and instill best practice from seed to cup.

Establishing strong foundations from the outset with the aim for New Zealand coffee grown to enter the global market with a reputation as a sought-after, premium product with attributes that are anchored in provenance, ethics and innovation.
