Australian: La Savoir is a new brand that I created in March 2012, so I could also sell a range of blends and single origins from around the world to cafés throughout Australia. I did this, as I felt that it was morally wrong to sell international coffees under my long time established brand Nat’s coffee, which I have proudly marketed as a single origin Australian grown product. La Savoir will be opening its new home on the Gold Coast in 2013. It is very exciting for me to now be able to advertise it on its opening as a multiple gold winning coffee, which has definitely made me very proud.

Filter: Ever since I started entering the Golden Bean competition in 2006, it has been a goal of mine to win gold in Category 4 – Filter. Every year I have entered, I have only ever been able to achieve bronze medals, and it has been driving me a little crazy. I was confident this year with the new brand that I was going to win, so I put most of my effort into coming up with an amazing filter coffee that was also available in larger quantities that I could actually sell to the public.

To win gold in two categories that mean a lot to me has made me extremely proud – especially the Australian, as I harvested, pulped, sundried and hulled this coffee all myself before roasting it. – Nathan Byron.
