About Minas Hill

Minas Hill Coffee is one of Australia's pioneers in importing specialty coffee from Brazil. Since 2012, we have worked directly with some of Brazil's most respected coffee producers, connecting Australian roasters with coffees that combine quality, traceability, sustainability, and long-term partnerships.

In addition to specialty coffee, we also import premium cocoa from the Brazilian Amazon through partnerships that support Indigenous and traditional forest communities. Through our Canopy Cocoa range, we supply premium drinking chocolate and cocoa products that celebrate both quality and positive social impact.

We are a values-driven business that believes great products begin with great relationships—from farming communities at origin through to the roasters, cafés, and businesses we serve across Australia.
