Coffee and tea in Australia: prices and buying tips

Updated 4 November 2026

Coffee and tea in Australia cost from about A$3 for supermarket tea bags to about A$30 for a 500 g roasted coffee, and about A$67 for a 1 kg bag of beans, according to sellers' websites, November 2026. Loose-leaf tea tins and gift sets cost more. For a quote on your blend and delivery city, post the request on BlaBlaPrice.

Freshness and roast date

Freshness is one of the first things buyers specify for coffee. Ask the roaster for the roast date and whether the beans are whole or ground, because ground coffee loses flavour faster. Seasons change little for coffee and tea, but a 1 kg bag is only worth buying if you finish it in time. Buy smaller bags for the warm months from December to February, and a larger bag for the cooler months from June to August.

Delivery and terms in Australia

Roasters and tea sellers ship across Australia, so ask whether postage is included in the price and which city the parcel goes to. Quote your order in grams and kilograms, for example 500 g or 1 kg, and say how many cups you drink a week so the seller can suggest a size. Ask whether a regular delivery is available if you order the same blend each month.

Coffee machines and warranties

If you buy a coffee machine alongside your beans, many sellers offer a 12-month parts and labour warranty. The Australian Consumer Law still applies after the warranty ends, so you may still be entitled to a remedy for a fault. Keep the receipt and check the warranty terms before you order.

What to put in your request

Name the product, the variety or roast, and the brewing method, such as espresso, filter or cafetière. Give the quantity in grams or kilograms, the freshness you want, and whether it is a one-off gift or a regular order. Add the delivery city and your budget in A$. Sellers can then propose a blend that fits your brewing.
