WHERE IT ALL BEGAN
1:40PM, SATURDAY, 12TH JULY 1997
That was the day when in a small café in the backstreets of Sydney, Will Young had a life changing moment. Up until this day, he had known coffee only to be a generic scalding liquid that people drank to cure tiredness – something endured more out of necessity than pleasure. But this cup was different. It was unlike anything he’d ever experienced before. It had a depth of flavour that was rich, sweet and complex along with an aroma that made him giddy with delight. Compared to coffees of the past, this was simply a superior experience. By the time the cup was empty, he knew life would be different. From that day forward, he decided to devote his life to introducing more people to great coffee.
On his first visit to a coffee growing origin, he had his second epiphany. It was there he saw the power and immense potential that coffee had to transform lives and communities in producing countries. What started as a delicious cup of coffee in Newtown was now a heartfelt mission to create more good in the world.

THE DISTINCTIVE TASTE OF CAMPOS
If you've enjoyed Campos Coffee in our green cup, then you've tasted our Campos Superior blend. This is our signature, quintessential coffee blend. It’s what we’ve proudly served in our cafes since day one.
Combining very fresh high-quality specialty coffees from our producing partners in Ethiopia, Kenya and Colombia, this full-bodied coffee is carefully roasted to deliver sweet caramel, butterscotch and milk chocolate flavours to your cup. When served black, the coffee also displays rich flavours of red fruit and apricot.

The Superior exemplifies our life’s work. We pride ourselves on the blend tasting consistent throughout the year. This consistency can only come from the roasting and blending expertise we have built up since day one. We are dedicated to that richness, that sweetness, that complexity, and those particular flavours. All of which we look forward to tasting both on the cupping table and in the green cup every morning.
OUR BLENDS AND SINGLE ORIGINS
Our expertise in blending and roasting is on full display through our further blend options. It is through these options we aim to represent our high end take the full gamut of the coffee blend spectrum as exists in the world today. This spans from the light roasted Bladerunner blend right the way through to our darkest Roma blend.

COFFEE SOURCING PRINCIPLES
Sourcing coffee is at the heart of what we do, no short-cuts or trade-offs. We aim to buy 100% of our coffee directly from origin, from seed to cup.
For over a decade, we’ve built relationships with farmers. We hike their hills and share meals with their families. Direct purchasing enhances quality and improves the livelihoods of farmers and producers, reflecting our timeless Campos philosophy.
