If you’ve ever had a cup of coffee that made you stop mid-sip and say, “Wait… what is this magic?”—then you already understand why Kaltiva Coffee Roasters is our Roaster of the Month this June.
At Perth Coffee Exchange, we don’t just throw the “roaster of the month” title around lightly. We look for soul, substance, and serious flavour chops. Kaltiva ticks all the boxes—and then some.
Here’s why your next coffee binge needs to include this small-batch roaster with a big heart.
1. Their Origin Story Could Be a Netflix Series (and We'd Totally Watch It)
Imagine this: a childhood surrounded by the scent of freshly ground beans in a Lithuanian kitchen. Fast forward a few decades, and that memory becomes the foundation of one of Australia’s most compelling specialty coffee stories.
That’s the journey of Kaltiva’s founder, Liam Valiukenas, who, alongside Head Roaster Chelsea Haddad, transformed a passion project into a coffee brand with both old-world charm and modern-day finesse.
Kaltiva isn’t your typical data-driven coffee operation. These roasters trust their senses. They roast by instinct, tune into the bean’s potential, and focus on creating a flavour-first experience that speaks louder than algorithms ever could.
And you can taste the difference.
2. Their Brazilian Single Origin Might Replace Your Dessert
Fazenda Vale do Cerrado isn’t just a name—it’s a flavour expedition straight to Brazil’s Canastra mountains. This omni-roast is sourced from a family-run farm where sustainability meets spectacular quality.
Let’s break down what makes this roast sing:
-
🍒 Cherry Ripe Sweetness: Think rich fruitiness that’s not too tart, not too sugary—just right.
-
🍮 Crème Brûlée Smoothness: A velvety texture and caramelized depth that gives you dessert-vibes in every sip.
-
☕ Syrupy Body: Works equally well in espresso or filter methods—versatility, unlocked.
It’s no exaggeration to say this roast could be your next daily ritual and your post-dinner treat.
3. Neighbourhood Is the Café-Quality Blend You’ve Been Missing
You know that feeling when you sit down with a perfect flat white at your favourite café? That moment where time slows, and everything just… works?
Neighbourhood captures that feeling and delivers it to your kitchen. This medium-dark roast is a three-origin blend that layers comfort and complexity like a seasoned barista:
-
🧂 Salted caramel for that buttery, familiar sweetness
-
🍑 Bold plum for a slightly tart, fruity lift
-
🌰 Roasted hazelnuts to round it all out with richness
Milk? Oat milk? Long black? Neighbourhood handles it all with poise. It’s the blend for people who want their home coffee game to rival the pros—and honestly, it does.
4. Pathfinder Is Your Espresso Adventure in a Cup
Let’s be real. Some coffees just look good on paper but fall flat when brewed. Not Pathfinder.
This medium roast Ethiopian-Colombian blend is built for the curious and the caffeine-committed alike. It’s an adventure from the first inhale to the final sip.
Here’s the vibe:
-
🥧 Cherry Pie brightness to wake up your palate
-
🍬 Toffee sweetness that adds depth without going cloying
-
🍫 Dark Chocolate finish for those comforting cocoa notes
If you love espresso, Pathfinder is a revelation. But don’t sleep on it in your Aeropress or pourover—it sings across the board. It's a sensory passport to somewhere bold, bright, and delicious.
5. All Nighter Is the Cozy, Midnight Muse You Didn’t Know You Needed
Let’s face it: coffee isn’t just for waking up. Sometimes, it’s for staying in the moment. For writing that last paragraph. Editing that podcast. Or just enjoying your own company at 1AM.
Enter: All Nighter.
This medium-dark roast blends the best of Central America into something rich, bold, and surprisingly cozy. Here’s what’s going on:
-
🫐 Blueberry brightness to kickstart your senses
-
🍫 Chocolate fudge that coats your palate like silk
-
🌀 Cinnamon roll notes that linger with warmth and comfort
It’s the kind of brew that keeps your soul company. It doesn’t shout—it hums. And sometimes, that’s exactly what you need.
