RE: 7 Day culture challenge - day 1! New Zealand food culture
I think part of the reason we have such good coffee is Havana Coffee Works, set up by Geoff Marsland and Tim Rose in the 90s. They certainly had a huge effect on coffee culture in Wellington, starting with their coffee shop Midnight Espresso in Cuba St. We had a bike shop two doors along from them, in the 90s, so saw a fair bit of them.
OK - I knew the name of Havana coffee but didnt know they had such a big affect on the coffee in NZ.. We went to London recently and there is as Ozone coffee shop owned by New Zealanders - the taste was brilliant reminded me of home
