Academy Coffee began in 2015 with a simple vision: to introduce specialty coffee to the Central West NSW. Fast forward to today and we’re continuing to source and roast the best coffee we can for cafes and homes across Australia.
SWEET AS
Bright, layered and unapologetically expressive.
Sweet As is built on everything we loved about our previous seasonal release — now refined and ready to run all year.
Tasting Notes
Red Fruits, Plum, Honey, Dark Chocolate, Cardamom SpiceWith milk: Banana, Honey Sweetness, Milk Chocolate
As a black coffee, it opens with vibrant red fruits and plum before settling into honey sweetness, dark chocolate and a gentle cardamom spice. There’s a subtle boozy edge woven through the cup, driven by expressive honey-processed Colombian lots fermented with wine yeast.
With milk, the profile softens and rounds out. Banana leads, supported by honey sweetness and smooth milk chocolate. Balanced, nostalgic and incredibly easy to drink.
Kenya Kianaina AA forms the backbone — bringing clarity, brightness and structure. It’s layered with two standout coffees from Jairo Arcila in Quindío, Colombia: one fermented with wine yeast and passionfruit, the other with wine yeast and blackberry. Together they add fruit intensity, depth and warmth.
Full. Balanced. Thoughtfully layered.Sweet as.

This exquisite blend is where tradition meets progress, striking an impeccable balance that reflects our dedication to the art of coffee making. We meticulously source the finest beans from the heartlands of South America, each chosen for their distinct and nuanced flavors. These beans are then masterfully blended, creating a tapestry of taste that honors the rich coffee heritage of their origins. In our roasting process, we embrace a philosophy of patience and precision. A heightened development period allows us to roast each bean 'low and slow,' a method that delicately unfolds the deep, resonant flavors of chocolate and hazelnut. This careful, prolonged roasting ensures that every espresso shot is full-bodied, with a luxuriously thick crema that speaks to the quality and care invested in its creation. The result is an espresso that not only pays homage to the timeless traditions of coffee craftsmanship but also embraces the innovation that defines our modern approach. It's a harmonious fusion that delivers an espresso experience of unparalleled depth and complexity, offering a comforting, richly flavored journey with each sip. Crafted for those who appreciate the subtleties of a well-roasted bean, this blend is a testament to our commitment to excellence in every cup.
