Introducing Everybird, a new coffee brand from the Kōkako family.

Meet Everybird, a new organic, Fairtrade coffee brand that’s popping up on supermarket shelves all over the country.

Kōkako Organic Coffee Roasters recently celebrated 20 years in business and after navigating a pandemic, they felt that it was time to try something new — something that would provide some security in an uncertain world. Since the start of the pandemic, everything has changed, the way we work, the way we socialise, the way we shop. Supermarkets are fast changing too; and in hindsight, Kōkako might have had Everybird up their sleeve earlier.

Being a coffee roaster that predominantly supplies cafés is their passion but it also made Kōkako realise how open they are as a business to the challenging impacts of lockdowns and alert levels.

Everybird is Kōkako’s new dedicated supermarket specialty coffee – it’s the one you’ll find when you can’t get Kōkako at your local café or you run out suddenly at home. It’s an at-home specialty coffee that you can grab from your local supermarket or Four Square, or in cities and towns where Kōkako hasn’t made it to the nest just yet — here’s looking at you, Christchurch! 

Everybird has launched with two blends — Everyday and Half-Caf. The Everyday Blend is a crowd-pleaser; it’s bold, a bit chocolatey, a bit biscuity, suited to all brew methods and is just as delicious black as it is with milk or mylk. 

Half-Caf is the coffee you buy when you want all the flavour, but not all the caffeine. It’s made with 50% full strength Everyday Blend, and 50% Swiss Water® Decaf (decaffeinated in Canada using only time, temperature and water). It’s for those who want a little more jive and a little less jitterbug — a little oomph, but not too much. Now you’ll be able to enjoy coffee all day and into the afternoon, without staying up all night. 

Both blends are available as whole beans, plunger and espresso. If you can’t find it at your supermarket, you can grab a bag or two to try at everybird.co.nz — then have a friendly word to your local grocery manager about stocking it! 

20 years is a long time in business and Kōkako is stoked to have Everybird in the family to help keep the brand strong for another 20. Kōkako is still the home for single origins, signature blends, brew gear and subscriptions. You can expect plenty more innovation from Kōkako this year too, and trust that they’re always tinkering on something new!

The more Fairtrade, organic, climate-neutral coffee there is in the market, the better it is for the whole supply chain. Thank you for supporting Kiwi-owned, sustainable coffee business — you legends!
