Mojo Coffee Central, in a beautifully restored historic factory building on Customhouse Quay in Wellington’s waterfront is the company’s head office and roastery. For coffee aficionados this is the place to go to for coffee supplies. The store offers everything from freshly roasted coffee ground to order and a complete range of coffee accessories. Sacks of green coffee beans are piled in the onsite warehouse and visitors who take a tour of the premises can not only watch the roasting process here but even get to meet the master roaster. Fifty kg of green beans are roasted at a time which amounts to two tons a week. The best thing about watching the process is the aroma of the freshly roasted beans. The coffee itself can be sampled at the Mojo Waterfront café just across from the roastery. Mojo coffee is ethically sourced from several regions in South America and Africa and from Papua New Guinea giving the customer a great choice of brews ranging from medium body and low acidity to heavy body and high acidity single origin coffees and excellent Mojo blends.
