Ark is a carefully hand crafted specialty coffee roastery and retail store based in Auckland established in 2012 founded by two sisters who simply want to bring real quality coffee full of many characteristics and aroma to be enjoyed in the comfort of everyone’s homes. 
It’s not about us but the coffees that we want to share with you and the quality time which you spend drinking these carefully handcrafted coffees which are our most importance and primary focus.
Story behind each bean is different and so is it’s flavour and aromas, and so is everyone’s choice of taste. We wanted to create a place where our customers can really get to know one coffee and help them find a brewing method that is most suited for their lifestyle to maximize their coffee drinking experiences.

We endeavour to continuously create exceptional coffee experiences for our customers.

We have one thing in mind here at Merito, excellent coffee.

Merito Coffee Roasters was established in 2007 to create a coffee experience to be appreciated by many. With a focus on exceptional specialty coffee, we are determined to bring quality to every cup. Through variations in brew methods, roast styles and bean origins we present you with an honest approach to appreciating coffee and continue daily to enhance the experience.

Kōkako Organic Coffee is roasted in Auckland by our Head Roaster Sam McTavish. He roasts on a state of the art 25kg Probat roaster from Germany and is passionate about the craft of roasting and tasting coffee, with a depth of knowledge that spans the journey from crop to cup. 

Quality is paramount to us. We work with various cooperatives and traders to source high quality green beans from specific origins where the flavour profiles match our expectations for a consistently well rounded cup of coffee that tastes exceptional.

We support this with third party Fairtrade and organic certification from Fairtrade New Zealand and Biogro NZ. Relationships throughout the supply chain are paramount to us – from the grower, to the co-op, traders,  certifiers, then to our roaster and our customers.

We cup our coffee twice a week at our dedicated roastery in Mt Eden – this ensures that every origin we buy and roast lives up to our exacting quality standards

Coffee is grown on trees, by people, utilising the limited resources of the planet. A simple but beautiful interaction that enables us to come together over a cup of coffee. An interaction that now needs an immediate response from ourselves. A response that provides assurances that the quality we experience in the cup is wedded not only to taste but environmental responsibility and fair prices paid to farmers.

Our response to the challenges faced by the environment and small-lot farmers is to source only organic and fair trade coffee through long-term cooperative partnerships.
