There are not many of us who don't enjoy a cup of coffee, it starts our day, finishes our meal, is great with cake, work and friends. We have always been avid coffee drinkers, but until we started on this journey of discovery we really didn't appreciate the fantastic but often fraught history of the coffee plant, where and how it's grown and the wonderful taste sensations available if you're prepared to delve into the world beyond the cup.
All of our coffee is ethically sourced from very well respected importers who travel the full journey of the green bean and provide full documentation to authenticate the coffee meaning that a premium is paid for the coffee, which gets fully passed on to the farms and estates, helping support and develop their infrastructure.
A Trowbridge businessman with a passion for coffee has said goodbye to the corporate world to start his own coffee roasting business. Adrian Smith, from Hilperton, spent more than 20 years in the licensed retail trade and gave up a senior management role for a national pub chain to share his love of coffee.
First and foremost, coffee is best kept as a wholebean for as long as possible. You should really only grind when ready to immediately make your coffee by whichever brew method you prefer. This will preserve and deliver the fullest flavour and hopefully allow you to taste some more of the interesting flavour profiles that make up beans of different regions.
