Tanna Coffee Roastery

Tanna Coffee Roastery is one of Vanuatu's most famous exporters, processing coffee beans grown on the fertile volcanic soils of Tanna Island. Founded in 1992, the company aims to support local agriculture through fair trade practices and sustainable farming methods. The coffee is cultivated at an altitude of approximately 400 meters above sea level, where ash from the active Mount Yasur volcano enriches the soil with essential minerals. The roastery located in Port Vila processes the beans using traditional semi-washed methods to preserve the unique flavor profile highly valued by connoisseurs worldwide. Over 700 smallholder farmers on Tanna supply the company, making Tanna Coffee a vital source of income for hundreds of families. Despite severe setbacks from major cyclones, the business has consistently recovered and is now considered a model for ethical entrepreneurship in the Pacific. Visitors to the roastery can observe the entire process from raw bean to final package.
