The Dimbulah Mountain Estate property was purchased as fallow land by Chris Wanden in 1995.   Chris is a New Zealand-born corporate professional with passion for coffee.  He decided to convert the land into coffee growing estate, and this is how the Dimbulah Mountain Estate was founded in 2002. 

The Dimbulah Arabica bean is grown in the fertile soils of the Paddy’s Green area on the Atherton Tablelands in tropical North Queensland. Dimbulah ensures high quality through carefully controlled processes in production, irrigation and harvesting. To ensure most cherries are ripe at the same time, the flowering schedule of the plants is controlled through irrigation – causing a dry season at the right time to ensure a September/October harvest. 

It is interesting to note, that Dimbulah Mountain Estate is exactly 17 degrees of latitude south of the equator, the same latitude as the famous Jamaica Blue Mountains in the north!
