If you’re lucky enough to be traveling to New Zealand for the Rugby World Cup here are a few coffee spots to visit.
Mojo’s roastery is in Wellington (Boks are playing there on the 11th & 17th) but they also have stores in Auckland, Dunedin and Christchurch.
Coffee to try:
Dr Mojo’s Medicine
This is Mojo’s house blend and consists of seven single-origins. It has a bright acidity, voluptuous body and notes of nut and chocolate.
Havana is based in Wellington but you can find their coffee at various coffee shops and supermarkets throughout New Zealand.
Coffee to try:
X Blend
“Blended by us, for us. This is where the motto ‘Coffee-U-Feel’ comes from. This coffee is hardcore, satisfying, sophisticated, vibrant and fulfilling. A complex taste makes it a great kick start.”
Super smooth with a buttery mouth feel and rich chocolaty finish.
Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch.
Coffee to try:
Gusto
Blend of beans from Guatemala, Honduras, and Ethiopia. Great with milk but best on its own as an espresso. Think cinnamon and chocolate.
Primo
African, Central and South American blend. Smooth and smoky with a loooooong sweet finish.
Special thanks to Judd Francis from Deluxe for smuggling in the coffee from New Zealand for us to taste.
Thanks for the write-up! I’m based in Wellington New Zealand and am lucky enough to drink these coffees every day! If you’re in Wellington, pop into Mojo Featherston (across the road from the railway station) – my absolute favourite coffee spot! Tios: if you’re drinking in, go to the back of the cafe, behind the counter, for a much improved ambience: also, try to avoid 10:00 – 10:20 am Mon – Fri as the place is packed with local workers!
Thanks for the info, Rachel.
