Grumpy Mule

To say that Grumpy Mule only cares about coffee is not entirely fair. He, and we, also care about our farmers, our growers and our customers. And other mules. And carrots. And a well-placed scratch behind the ears.
But that’s about it.
So we source fairly and sustainably – making sure that our growers share in our success. We roast with precision and care – making sure that we get the very best flavour from each and every bean that our growers have worked so hard to produce.
Because great coffees depend on every stage of the process being just right. That’s what drives Grumpy Mule.
