Who is Brown Bag Coffee?
The pitch here is that you are not paying for the bag. Brown Bag sells its coffee clean skin, in a plain brown paper bag, and says the savings come from everything it leaves out: no branded equipment, no sales reps, no umbrellas, no promotional material. Home, office and cafe buyers pay the same price. The people behind it say they spent years creating blends for big Australian coffee brands before starting their own, and they describe the model as a co-op, where buyers group together to reach volume pricing. The range runs to blends and a single origin, with cocoa and chai alongside. The business address is Mount Beauty, in Victoria.
