ABOUT THE COFFEE / REGION

Joel considers his family pioneers in the production of coffee in the remote highlands of Siltepec, Chiapas. Joel's father had a farm and was the one in charge of spreading his knowledge and passion about coffee to the whole family.

Joel used to help his father with some of the daily activities on the farm. Now, Joel is happy to say that he has been a coffee producer for over 40 years. He is proud of it and knows he owes it to his father, who encouraged him to continue growing coffee and to dedicate their lives to coffee. "I work together with my family; it's a family business," Joel is proud to say.

Joel and his son go out to the fields to harvest the coffee and are responsible for bringing all the cherries home so that the whole family can help in the post-harvest process. While they are in the fields, his wife and daughter stay home preparing the food, which they consider the most sacred thing at their home. However, all the children, as well as Joel and his wife, help during the drying process by moving and raking the coffee every now and then.

In 2021, they decided to embark on the journey of focusing on their processes to produce specialty coffee. Joel was excited to add special value to their product and receive extra income to sustain his family through the love that he has for coffee.

Since then, coffee has improved their quality of life. The most important thing for Joel is that on their farm, they have fun and it's a moment to unite as a family. They laugh with each other, whether someone falls or an animal appears and scares them; they have a blast producing coffee.

        FAQ

        When will I receive my coffee?

        Our coffee is sent via Australia Post .
        Tracking services are provided and you will receive your tracking number once we dispatch your order.

        Parcel Post by AustPost normally takes under 6 business days and Express Post by AustPost normally under 3 business days.

        Upon receiving your order, we generally send your order out within two business days as we aim for you to have the freshest roast possible.

        We do have roast schedule's and some orders may be delayed waiting for those roast days - we will let you know if there's any lengthy delays.

        Please allow extra time over public holidays or during major holiday periods and weekends.

        Please note if you order later than Thursday, your order might not be able to arrive until Tuesday the following week.

        Please understand drivers are human, some errors can happen. When it happens, don't hesitate and contact us at hello@symmetrycoffeeroasters.com.au   or "Chat with us" from the website.

        Can I pickup my coffee?

        Yes, you are more than welcome.
        Mon - Sat 7:30am-2:30pm
        Sundays and Public Holidays access are closed


        Walk through "Little Things Cafe" you will find your order to the right as you enter the roastery gates on a black steel shelf with your name/# stickered on your parcel.

        Place your order, then give us some time to roast and pack for you (usually less than two business days).

        Once received ready for pickup notification, come in, check in, and say hi to either Matty or Po.

        Can you grind my coffee?

        Sorry, we sell whole beans only.

         
        The reason being is that pre-grinding freshly roasted coffee means that it affects the integrity of the coffee and this makes the coffee expire a lot faster. It's like having artisan bread being pre-sliced or a piece of fruit being left out in the sun!

        I have other questions

        Send us your queries from our website "chat with us" function, our roasters Matty & Po will get back to you as soon as possible, if they are not online, you will get an email response.
