BEVERAGES / CAFE SUPPLIES

Alchemy Cordials

We want our beverages to be ‘love at first sip’. So, for 25 years the Alchemy brand has been transforming refreshments through our dedication and obsession with flavour.

Alchemy makes consumers lives easier with our versatile, easy to make beverages. Use your imagination – hot, cold, plant-based or dairy milk, put a shot of Turmeric into a smoothie or Matcha into a juice – you can transform your beverages into superfood boosted versions of their former selves!

All our products are plant-based and are gluten, dairy and allergen free. We use no artificial colours or flavours. And we never will.

PACKAGING/ CAFE SUPPLIES

Roastar

Good for the beans, good for the planet. Roastar Coffee Packaging products will lead the way in developing and providing sustainable solutions for everything coffee in Australia and New Zealand. Headquartered in Brisbane, with a distribution network across Australasia, Roastar was born to disrupt the coffee industry – sustainably! Local manufacture not only supports jobs and the economy but reduces risk, while an in-house design and production team means shorter turnaround times and a true partner for coffee businesses.

Roastar’s flagship products include the most sustainable single-use coffee cup available – The Good Cup and the first, high-barrier, APCO-approved coffee bag.

With its unique, innovative integrated lid design, The Good Cup will help Roastar customers say goodbye to plastic lids for Good. Because no lids are required, switching to The Good Cup means a 40% reduction on storage space, transport volume and carbon footprint. Removing lids, dual-fill cups and the option to do away with straws will reduce SKU’s. This means lower costs and a healthier planet.

Roastar’s BeanShield technology will challenge the coffee packaging status quo! This locally-made, kerbside recyclable coffee bag will honour roasters’ devotion to better and more consistent taste – promising to maintain flavour and preserve shelf life. Roastar’s patented label vent offers a 96% reduction in plastic over the traditional valve while consumers don’t have to remove it before recycling the bag in their usual streams.
