Our Coffees
All our coffee is 100% Highest Grade Arabica Beans selected from the world's best growing areas: Papua New Guinea, Colombia, Brazil, Guatemala and Indonesia- all available at Wildcat Coffee.
Roasting the perfect batch is an obsession and a passion.
When we changed our name to Wildcat Coffee Roastery we wanted to identity with Taranaki and to find a name that was synonymous with the region. As Taranaki is well known as the hub of the New Zealand oil industry, Wildcat was the perfect name and our blends are named after offshore drilling terms.
Wildcat wells are drilled based on a large element of hope, in a frontier area where little is known about the subsurface. In the early days of oil exploration, wildcats were common as productive areas were not yet established. Source: www.wikipedia.org
We love the challenge of roasting the perfect roast, and blending the perfect blend for each customer! We are very much a hands-on roasting company and take pride in our product — from the pre-roast inspection of green beans, through to careful small-batch roasting, and finally blending and packaging to order.
WILDCAT BLEND
Our award-winning Espresso Coffee. A delicious brown roast yielding maximum rich caramel distinction and chocolate finish. Has the perfect balance and produces a fine espresso, the basis for all types of coffee.
ORGANIC DECAF
Our award winning decaf is a Swiss water treated organic decaf where only water is used in the decaffeination process. Our organic decaf uses only top quality green beans and is roasted to a medium roast.
PHANTOM
(Formerly Colombian Dark). This is a dark roast, producing smooth but full bodied richness, and flavours coming from the area it is harvested from adding a distinct chocolate aroma. Phantom is great for the plunger, but also makes a delicious Flat White or Latte.
LIGNITE

ROUGHNECK
New blend of three different South American beans with notes of chocolate and vanilla characteristic of this area. Crema is dark and fragrant and the espresso is a good balance of bite and depth with the bite giving way on the palate to a smoothness of chocolate and vanilla mixed with a nutty and slightly earthy taste.
MATRIX
This strong dark single origin genuine Italian roast produces a complex bitter sweetness and caramel flavours which is indicative of the high altitude this blend comes from.
