Vattessa Colbung, Managing Director of Desert Gem, an esteemed Aboriginal business located in Perth, Western Australia.

Born in Kalgoorlie relocated to Perth, Vattessa's connection to her Aboriginal heritage has been a driving force behind her and her families journey. With an appreciation for the land and a strong desire to make a positive impact, she embarked on a mission to create a business that would not only contribute to the local economy but also bring environmental and cultural preservation.

With a commitment to sustainability and cultural heritage, Vattessa has positioned Desert Gem as a Indigenous commercial supplier of coffee beans and automated coffee machines.

"As someone who spent their young adult years immersed in the café and hospitality industry, I know that coffee is more than just a beverage—it's a celebration of connection and community. At Desert Gem, I try my best to bring that passion in the products I choose, crafting exceptional brews of rich coffee culture. I hope you enjoy the moment over a good cup of coffee"
