 Mackellar Range Australian Coffee is an all Australian coffee product produced at Leycester in Northern NSW, 50km from Byron Bay and 15km North West of Lismore. The 100% Arabica coffee is grown at an altitude of about 215m, amongst the chocolate basalt ridges of the Mackellar Range, running down from the Queensland border to between Lismore and Kyogle.
This more temperate micro-climate has less humidity and precipitation, has quite warm periods during winter and is distinct from other coffee-growing areas in the region, most of which are closer to the coast. The climate and local soil types are reflected in the personality and unique taste of the coffee.  We offer a fine balance between roast aroma and roast flavour with a pleasing level of acidity and distinct nutty chocolate characters.
Mackellar Range Australian Coffee is a single origin Arabica coffee which is hand-picked and/or machine harvested and then processed and sun-dried. Whilst not certified organic producers, Mackellar Range Australian Coffee is grown free of pesticides and processed free of chemicals. Mackellar Range Australian Coffee is low in caffeine content, possibly because:  - The coffee plant normally produces caffeine to deter pests and, as there are no pests locally, the plant naturally produces less caffeine (noting that caffeine is in every part of the coffee plant).
- Our coffee is grown in less volatile climatic conditions of heat, rainfall and humidity within a unique local micro climate.
We have been involved in all facets of the local coffee industry in North Eastern NSW, Australia - including plantation set-up, establishment and maintenance, irrigation, plantation, nutrition and development, harvesting, processing, tasting, packaging and marketing.
