Everything you need to know about Marnka & Co., from the stories in our blends to how your coffee reaches you.

Maka · fire
What does Marnka mean?
Marnka means abundance in Arabana. It reflects the natural abundance of Country and the responsibility to take only what is needed, share what is given and give back in return.
Marnka & Co. is a female-led, 100% Indigenous Australian-owned and operated specialty coffee brand, founded by Arabana woman Christine Sindely. Read our story
What are your blends?
Five specialty grade blends, each named in the Arabana language.
Kutha is our specialty decaf blend. Three of the five, Maka, Ukarai and Wadhlu, received Bronze Medals at the 2026 Golden Bean Australasian Championships. Explore our blends
Why are the blends named in Arabana?
Language lives when it is spoken and shared. Every time you ask for a Maka or choose a Waangara afternoon, you are speaking Arabana, and the language travels a little further beyond Country. The names are chosen with care and deep respect.
Do you offer subscriptions?
Yes. Choose Subscribe & Save on any blend to have it delivered every 2, 3 or 4 weeks. You can pause or cancel at any time.
