Fat Poppy Coffee Roasters

Fat Poppy Coffee Roasters burst onto the scene in 2012, fearlessly led by Sasha, one of Australia’s pioneering female coffee roasters. With a mission as strong as that first invigorating cup of the day, Fat Poppy set out to redefine the coffee experience. Little did they know, their journey would soon intersect with the legacy of Black Drum Roasters, culminating in a union that’s as empowering as mastering your favourite brew at home.

From its inception, Fat Poppy embraced a simple yet powerful ethos: to not only deliver exceptional coffee but also to make a positive impact in the world. This mission was woven into the fabric of every bean they roasted, with each cup serving as a catalyst for change, both locally and globally.

Ethical trade was just the beginning for Fat Poppy. They believed in more than just fair prices for growers; they were committed to nurturing the communities they partnered with and uplifting those around them.

In 2023, Black Drum Roasters recognised the shared values and unwavering dedication of Fat Poppy Coffee Roasters. By acquiring Fat Poppy, Black Drum amplified their commitment to ethical sourcing, community empowerment, and championing women in the coffee industry. This acquisition was a testament to the belief that your daily coffee ritual can be a force for good in the world.

Together, Black Drum and Fat Poppy continue to inspire coffee lovers to change the world, one sip at a time. With each flavourful brew, we celebrate the resilience of communities, the empowerment of women, and the transformative power of a good cup of coffee. Join us as we raise our mugs to a future where every sip fuels positive change. 🌱☕🌍
