2008 was a big year in the eyes of many. The hit blockbuster Twilight was released. China held the summer Olympic Games in Beijing, and former Olympic handball player Saša Šestić started his own coffee roastery out of his garage in Canberra, Australia. Saša had a simple vision for the company when he first launched in 2008. He wanted to create great coffee and share it with as many people as possible. To help make his dream a reality, Saša worked around the three core values he personally stood for, innovation, community and excellence. As we have grown and changed over the years, we have found new ways to share flavour and connect with communities around the world. Working closely to the core values that the company was founded on, we aim to create a world of better and more sustainable coffee. In close collaboration with our ethical trading company Project Origin, we source the highest quality green beans produced in the most sustainable ways possible. This collaborative work guarantees that we can empower communities and farmers worldwide to feel excited about the work they do. With five venues across Canberra, Sydney and Melbourne and wholesale partners across Australia and worldwide, the ONA Coffee community has continued to spread, maintaining our core values and mission.
