Flair for flavour, dedicated research, and principled innovation
Love coffee, love nature
You can find all of the goodness of nature in our coffee. Creating unique blends means immersing yourself in natural elements, encapsulating the essence of aromas and flavours, striking a balance in taste and providing something for everyone to enjoy as you continue your tireless pursuit of perfection, just like we have done every day since 1927.
Sustainability
All coffee plants thrive in their natural habitats, which must be preserved. This is at the forefront of our minds when we choose to work in harmony with the traditions of local people from our coffee’s countries of origin. Similar thoughts are behind our decisions to use completely biodegradable materials for compostable capsules and packaging, as we try to work towards a 100% sustainable future.
Artisan industry
90 years in the industry, 6000 tonnes of coffee made every year, 20 countries of origin, and products sold in 50 different countries: this small selection of numbers sums up the wealth of knowledge and experience that we proudly, steadfastly pass down from one generation to the next so that we can carry on working in a field that we love, painstakingly nurturing our precious creations and taking pride in a job well done.
