Who is River Roast?
Two Sydney Royal Fine Food Show results stand behind River Roast. Its Paterson Blend was named Champion Espresso in 2009, then won Gold Espresso in 2010. The roastery is based in Maitland, NSW, and has been roasting since 2008. Master roaster James Carter has made coffee for over 30 years and roasted for over 20. He also helped develop the Australian National Coffee Standards. Its coffee is roasted locally in small batches. The Hawkesbury Blend sits alongside the Paterson. This suits buyers who want an award-winning espresso blend from a roaster with decades at the machine. Businesses can also get wholesale supply, equipment servicing and training.
