COFFEE FAQ'S
Our Coffee
We create a new and unique profile for each coffee we roast. Although the profiles are different, our approach is always the same, to highlight and accentuate the flavours created at the farm and mill. The dark art of coffee roasting is to keep the identity and character of every variety intact and alive, no matter the brew method.
What is Transparent trade?
Our approach to coffee sourcing is, wherever feasible, through transparent trade, which has become our favoured method within the specialty coffee market. When for instance we buy our Colombian coffees I am put directly in touch with the farm through our trusted friend and importer who gives a very fair price to the farmer and a share of the profits before the coffee is even shipped. We request the farmers bank details and make a direct transfer from our account for a percentage of bag sales reached which helps incentivise them to keep standards high, and they themselves are as interested to see which roastery has taken delivery of their harvest as we are to see where our beans come from.
Who roasts my coffee?
Gerald has been roasting coffee for over seven years and makes sure every roast is a very high standard before allowing the coffee to rest in the bag.
Where can I drink Peaberry Coffee?
Our Coffee can be found in various outlets in Hampshire and surrounding counties and in Sophie’s Steak Houses in Chelsea and Soho in London.
SHIPPING
When will my order be dispatched?
We aim to roast fresh to order however through the pandemic it has been often difficult to gauge required quantities and sometimes your coffee might even be three days old from roast date before sending, which we feel is still an acceptable time frame to dispatch. Roast days are at present Mondays and Thursdays only.
When can I expect my order to be delivered?
We send out orders by first-class Royal Mail post, with larger orders being sent with Fed Ex.
UK deliveries should arrive within 1-2 working days of dispatch although Royal Mail do not guarantee this unless you opt-for the 'tracked' option.
Orders over 2kg will be sent via Fed Ex
