DHUWA – pronounced “Dee:Wah” and meaning to feel alive in Bidjara language – is Australia’s Indigenous-owned coffee brand, roasted in partnership with Griffiths Bros Coffee Roasters. Since launching in May 2021 in Woolworths, DHUWA has now expanded availability to over 900 Woolworths stores nationwide.
Although the range will vary between stores, Dhuwa’s ground coffee will be available in almost all Woolworths stores in Australia. Additional Woolworths stores are expected to be stocked with DHUWA coffee from October 18th, 2021.
“As a modern Indigenous-owned, managed, and controlled business, we believe a great cup of coffee connects us as we share stories, build bonds, and nourish relationships. We call it ‘reconciliation in a cup,” said proud Mununjali Palawa man and DHUWA co-founder Shawn Andrews.
“DHUWA celebrates Indigenous people and their cultures, including the three-hundred-plus languages they speak. It’s a reconciliation ecosystem in itself, from the coffee we create, the people we celebrate, and the opportunities we bring to other Indigenous people. The bigger picture behind DHUWA is to create a successful coffee enterprise that is soon able to train and employ Indigenous people and in so doing, contribute to their communities.”
Griffiths Bros Coffee Roasters Managing Director Peter Patisteas said he was thrilled that DHUWA had selected
them to help bring the product to life. “Coffee is a luxury that people won’t compromise on. DHUWA was founded over a shared passion of rich traditions, great coffee and good cause. For those reasons we take this partnership very seriously,” said Peter.
