His love and passion for coffee comes from his Italian heritage, it led Joe Tarquinio (Roaster Joe) to set up a coffee roasting business on the island of Java. With decades of experience in building food factories he saw an opportunity. As all Italians know, great food only comes from fresh quality ingredients.

Indonesia is home to some great arabica coffees and also teas. By roasting in Java, Quintino’s has direct access to farms with the freshest and best quality green beans and teas from around the archipelago.
