We started Phew in September 2020 to go along with our new cafe Plenty Eatery in Pennant Hills. We now run it at both our stores; Plenty Eatery & Harvest Specialty Coffee. Phew was a way for us to explore moving up the supply chain while trying to create a really great product.
As a cafe, there are generally a lot of restrictions that come with using a particular brand of coffee. Having our own brand of coffee allows us a lot of freedom on what we can do and who we can collaborate with. This is important to us as it allows us to collaborate with a lot of the great roasters you’ve experienced on drop & sell them alongside Phew.
Usually at Phew we only have the one Seasonal blend running. However, for this drop we’ve created a second blend & roasted a couple of singles. We would love you feedback on these coffees as we’re always looking to improve. :)
Enjoy!
