Fiori Coffee wins Gold at the The CSR Golden Bean

Posted on December 10, 2009

Last year we managed to win the competition outright. This year we have won the only gold medal in WA, plus a silver and two bronze.

Out of over 700 entries from 330 coffee roasteries Australia wide our Kenyan Dorman AA topped the list in the ‘Filter’ category for the gold.  We received the silver medal for our Ethiopian Natural Harrar in the ‘Retail Filter’, Bronze for our Fiori Blend in the ‘Milk Based’ category and Bronze for our Organic Blend in the ‘Organic’ category.

We are very proud to have trained two young roasters to championship winning level using traditional equipment and artisan methods. It takes massive dedication and skill to roast on fully manual equipment but in turn they are now true craftsmen.

The medals this year were won by Dan Ainslie who has been with us for only one year. Dan has come from a hospitality background and has proven himself a natural roaster. Congratulations to him!
