ROASTED & CRAFTED WITH CARE

Sourcing the coffee beans is the first step in delivering a great coffee to your customers. Our beans are hand-picked from the finest plantations around the world. The difference in growing conditions, weather and even the soil influences the flavour of the bean.

When developing a blend there are many considerations, such as the purpose of the blend, the type of brewing method and of course the desired flavour. We have many Heavenly Blends for you to choose from, all carefully designed and roasted with a specific flavour in mind.

In a marriage of science and sensibility, we love to hand-roast on our traditional drum machine and indulge the senses when roasting small batches. By using our sensory skills to monitor the coffee’s physical characteristics, the colour and aroma, we can create wonderful artisan options.

We are equally proud of our capacity to roast on a larger scale using new convectional air roast technology. This approach enables optimum standards in consistency and roast profile and secures service and availability. Care of the environment is always a central consideration and so it is important to note how our larger roaster is fitted with a catalytic converter ensuring some of the most energy efficient and CO2 responsible roasting in the business.

Striking a balance between craft, quality and usability, we lovingly package our coffee in attractive, low carbon footprint, recyclable materials. In doing so, we protect our cherished coffee, whilst promoting its freshness and flavour, ensuring it arrives with you in perfect condition.

SUSTAINABLY SOURCED & RESPONSIBLY TRADED

There is no excuse for anyone to drink “bad” coffee and cheap does not mean cheerful when it comes to the future of our industry. Sustainable sourcing is about meeting the needs of the present without compromising the future. In this respect, when searching for the right coffee, we are as interested in the environmental, social and ethical factors as we are in the quality and price. Whilst taking assurance from the fact that all our coffee is sourced from locations with clear domestic legislative regulations, we also choose to visit our farmers to see first-hand just how such processes are implemented in practical terms. Having visited coffee farms and cooperatives in Africa, South America and India we have seen how responsible farmers recycle water, protect soil systems and forests and care for their workers. We have seen how pickers and their families can be supported and empowered whilst having access to health and education services. We are very proud to support the charity “Grounds for Health” who undertake lifesaving preventative health care services in coffee growing communities. In short, we select coffee from those who share our passion for coffee and our commitment to support the long-term future of our industry.
