Rush Coffee, listed at 258 Ryan Road in Te Arai, Rodney, roasts what it calls New Zealand's most awarded coffee. Its flagship, Rush Espresso, has won 14 medals since 2009, including 5 gold.
The Rush Espresso blend mixes Nicaraguan, Sumatran, Honduran, Colombian, Tanzanian and Indian beans, and suits espresso with or without milk, as well as the plunger. Organic Rush uses Fairtrade organic beans and suits every brew method. Zingaro, a bronze medal winner at the New Zealand Coffee Awards, is mainly a plunger blend. The decaf is made with the Swiss Water Process, and the packaging is home compostable.
