Welcome .cafe to our Guest Bar
We’re excited to welcome Tribute Torréfaction from the beautiful French region of La Drôme to our Guest Bar a roastery founded in 2025 with a clear vision: to reveal coffee’s aromatic identity through terroir, craftsmanship, and respect for the people behind each bean.
Tribute is co-founded by Paul Arnephy, Meilleur Ouvrier de France Torréfacteur (M*F), whose coffee journey began nearly 20 years ago in Melbourne before continuing in France over the past 16 years. With experience spanning sourcing, roasting operations, and quality control, Paul’s background includes accolades such as M*F Torréfacteur (2018), Champion de France de Torréfaction SCA (2022), and graduation from ZHAW Coffee Excellence.
Alongside him is Gonzague Jaret, a former banker who chose to leave finance behind to fully pursue his passion for coffee and craftsmanship, bringing with him deep experience in roasting, logistics, quality control, and customer service.
At the heart of Tribute Torréfaction is an uncompromising focus on green coffee quality.
Every lot is rigorously evaluated against strict criteria, with a strong commitment to price traceability and understanding the value retained in producing countries. Tribute actively seeks specific cultivars, producers, regions, and processing methods, believing that quality is not only about flavour, but about durability, fairness, and long-term value.
Roasting is where this intention is transformed. Each coffee is developed with a carefully crafted roast profile designed to express the character of the green bean.
Before any coffee leaves the roastery, it undergoes detailed quality control, from roast colour and weight loss to density measurements, followed by final sensory evaluation at the cupping table.
Tribute roasts for those who value authenticity, precision, and flavour. We’re proud to share
their coffees with you, coffees that honour producers, reflect place, and are roasted with purpose.
