ONA Coffee was founded in 2008 by former Olympic handball player Saša Šestić, who started the roastery in his Canberra garage with a simple vision: to create and share great coffee. A revelatory experience with a specialty coffee that needed no sugar sparked his passion to introduce exceptional coffee to a wider audience. The company is built on the core values of innovation, community, and excellence, and they aim to create the best and most sustainable coffee in the world, sourcing high-quality green beans through their ethical trading company, Project Origin.
