ESTATE HISTORY

Situated on the foothills overlooking Port Edward, Beaver Creek farm was bought in 1984 by Ed Cumming, with the first coffee crop planted in 1986. Three years later Ed and Doug harvested their first crop of Coffea Arabica.

Over the next ten years they established the reputation of their home-grown coffee, winning over many coffee converts in the KZN area. Going from strength to strength, they imported their first batch of coffee beans in 1994. That landmark has seen them build their business from a small family concern, in the process becoming a thriving roastery and producer of some of the worlds’ finest coffee.

Since 1994 Beaver Creek and Red Berry have gone on to roast more than 66 varieties of coffee at the roastery at the Beaver Creek Estate.

The company has from humble beginnings grown to become known as a source of premium coffee amongst coffee aficionados. Focusing on specialty coffee and producing their own single origin product, the family has set their sights on taking their products to the next level.

Supplying supermarkets, restaurants and distributing via mail order through the Coffee of the Month Club (operated by the Wine of the Month Club), both their wide range of imports and their own brand (Beaver Creek Estate Reserve) continue to enjoy a favourable reception.
