Learn More About Robert Harris

Robert Harris has been crafting fresh coffee beans for Kiwis since 1952. They are the experts in making coffee for kiwi tastes, not only because they’re kiwis but because they’re passionate about what they do. They’re also passionate about this little-old blue planet. After all, it’s kind of hard to enjoy one without the other. That’s why Robert Harris is on the journey to make their coffee more responsibly.
