Seasonal is our everyday espresso blend, built around what is genuinely good right now. As coffee harvests change throughout the year, the coffees in our Seasonal blend evolve with them, while retaining the balanced, sweet character that makes it ideal for espresso. Roasted in Hawthorn, Melbourne, it’s crafted to taste equally good black or with milk, allowing us to embrace fresh harvests while keeping the blend’s familiar character.

Coffee is an agricultural crop. It grows, ripens and is harvested at different times depending on the country, region, altitude and conditions of a particular season. That means good green coffee does not become available everywhere at once.
Brazilian Arabica is generally harvested through the middle of the year, while much of Central America harvests from around October through to the early months of the following year. Ethiopia has another cycle again, with its main harvest typically running from around October into January. Harvest timing varies from year to year and between regions within the same country.
Our Seasonal blend follows these harvest cycles. We source specialty grade coffee close to harvest, roast it while it’s fresh and introduce new coffees as crops become available. The blend evolves throughout the year while maintaining the balanced, sweet character you know and enjoy. For more everyday options, explore the full range of Axil coffee blends.
Seasonal is built around a flavour direction rather than a permanent list of origins.
At different points in the year, fresh crop coffees from Central America, South America and Africa become available. Brazilian coffees harvested through the Australian winter may play a role at one point, while fresh Central American or Ethiopian crops can enter the rotation as their harvests are processed, shipped and ready to roast.
There’s no fixed calendar for when an origin joins the blend. Harvest timing, shipping and quality vary, so each coffee is selected for how it tastes.
As components change, our roasting team refines the roast profiles and blend proportions to preserve Seasonal’s familiar character. You may notice subtle shifts throughout the year, but the balanced, sweet cup remains
If you enjoy following those changes, our Single Origin coffees put the focus on one particular farm, producer, region or lot at a time.
Seasonal is made for people who want an everyday coffee with something new to discover throughout the year.
It is particularly suited to:
Seasonal is also available in coffee pods for those mornings when convenience matters.
We have been roasting coffee in Hawthorn, Melbourne since 2010. Across the Axil team are two World Barista Championship titles and seven Australian Barista Championship titles. That titles have sharpened the way we taste coffee, understand consistency and work with producers, but the same thinking is applied to the coffee we serve every day.
Our sourcing starts with specialty grade green coffee bought close to harvest. We work directly with producers, with some relationships spanning more than a decade,, giving us a closer understanding of the farms, people and coffees behind each lot. Once the green coffee reaches Hawthorn, we roast to order.
We also have the added benefit of tasting the coffees we roast every day across our 17+ stores. The same coffee is poured across Axil’s own venues every day, giving our roasting and café teams an ongoing connection to how Seasonal is performing in the cup.
For a blend designed to move throughout the year, that feedback matters. We can taste the coffee, adjust and keep Seasonal moving in the direction it should. Fresh harvests, thoughtful roasting and a familiar cup you can count on.
Seasonal gives you a familiar coffee without asking the harvest to stand still. Try the current blend and see what this part of the coffee year is bringing to the cup. Come back in a few months and the origins may have moved, but it should still feel like the Seasonal you know.
If it becomes the coffee you reach for every morning, our coffee blend subscriptions can keep freshly roasted Seasonal arriving regularly without another order to remember.
Seasonal follows the natural harvest cycles of coffee growing regions. At Axil, we select fresh specialty grade coffees as they become available, introducing new origins into the blend throughout the year.

There’s no fixed schedule for changes to the blend. Each coffee is selected based on harvest timing, availability and quality. Some stay for several months, while others are replaced as fresh crops become available

Seasonal retains its familiar character, with subtle shifts in sweetness, fruit notes, acidity or body as the coffees in the blend change. The goal is to keep the overall character consistent while allowing the coffee to reflect the season.

Freshness depends on how coffee is sourced, stored and roasted. Axil buys specialty grade green coffee close to harvest, rotates components as crops change and roasts to order rather than keeping the same green coffee in a recipe indefinitely.
