About Our Coffee

What does “HEKAU Selection” mean?
HEKAU Selection represents coffees personally chosen for balance, clarity, and ritual.
Each release is curated by HEKAU and roasted by trusted speciality roasters we admire.
We select coffees that support a calm, intentional brewing experience, not just flavour, but feeling.

Who roasts your coffee?
Our current coffees are roasted by North Star Coffee Roasters (UK) and selected by HEKAU.
We partner with roasters whose sourcing ethics, roasting philosophy, and quality standards align with our own.

Is your coffee whole bean or ground?
All HEKAU coffees are shipped as whole beans only.
Grinding fresh preserves aroma, structure, and clarity, an essential part of the ritual.

How fresh is the coffee?
We order in small batches and rotate stock regularly.
Every bag includes a roast date so you can brew at peak flavour.
