I knew well before travelling here that the coffee scene in NZ was good, so I had absolutely no doubt I was in for some good brew whilst here.
Before leaving home I had a look around Google searching for the best coffee in Queenstown and I started to stress that I may not have enough time here to sample them all, or if I did I’d be bouncing off the mountains on a caffeine high.
The coffee gods are smiling on me today, and since I’m in Aotearoa, I believe the correct God would be Rongo-mā-Tāne (God of cultivated food)
Almost as soon as I arrived here an NZ Herald article appeared in my news feed that suggested Queenstown has the best coffee in all of New Zealand. You could even say this was a Remarkable coincidence…..
Not only have the coffee gods been good to me, but so far the weather gods have been pretty happy as well, this morning was a glorious day for a jog/walk and coffee recon mission. On my way back to the apartment I settled on a coffee van just a few minutes walk from where our apartment is (Life’s a Grind Espresso). It was a great coffee and a spectacular start to my coffee journey here.
As soon as I ordered I thought it would be good, all the other people around me at 7am were local workers gabbing their brew before starting work.
The only hard decision now is, what cafe do I try tomorrow ?
It's all about the coffee
