Who is Bean Cartel?
At Golden Bean 2025, The Bean Cartel took Gold. The year before: another Golden Bean win. Their Apricot Delight claimed Gold Medal Champion in the Espresso category. Colombia Maypop claimed Gold Medal Champion in Filter. Two category titles, two consecutive years of recognition. The roastery behind those results is in Notting Hill, Victoria. They source from Colombia, Ethiopia, Kenya, and Burundi, and origin roast before blending — controlling the full journey from farm to cup. For coffee buyers who want to know their roaster has done the work — in sourcing, in process, and on the competition floor — this is the place to start.
