It’s an incredible topic that many people know about, but I don’t think there’s enough information that’s readily available for people. I’m really lucky to work with an incredible company who is able to support my beliefs and really wants to try and help bridge that gap and develop the business itself, and help share that same information with other businesses. I think that the topic in the industry is quite new and is something that we really need to push forward. Hopefully I’ll complete the final course by the end of this year. I’ve been fortunate enough to complete two levels of the SCA Coffee Sustainability Program. I, myself, am quite passionate about sustainability, both in general practices in life, but then also in business practices. You’re clearly very passionate about sustainability, can you expand on this? We love nerding out on anything product related and being able to share that information with as many people as possible. At the same time we are the messengers with information about all the products we serve. When people come to Proud Mary, we want everyone to come into a really relaxed and welcoming environment, somewhere that offers great service, amazing food and even better coffee. What can people expect when they come to Proud Mary? It’s a beautiful space that we’ve put a lot of energy into. Hopefully in the near future we will open back up to the public with training and cupping sessions.

So we’re at Aunty Peg’s which is our HQ, we’ve got our brew bar and roastery downstairs and up here, our office space, kitchen and coffee college. We’re currently chatting in a different venue to the main cafe, can you tell us about this location? And in the process, be able to serve some of the best coffee in the world. We want to be able to share as much information and stories from origin and with that continue to hold strong, long standing relationships with them and share as much information as we can. Our mission is to: excite customers, share stories and make a difference. Nolan, the owner built the business on an origin trip where he discovered that there were a lot of inadequate practices and believed that there should be more information shared from origin to consumer. Can you explain the vision behind Proud Mary Coffee?
