We started our coffee journey in 2010, at our neighbourhood coffee shop in Poole. Inspired by the emerging trend of craft roasting and coffee culture in London, we opened Little Red Roaster, and began roasting coffee in the corner of the shop.
In 2013, we moved to our purpose-built roastery on a farm in rural Dorset, where we’ve been roasting ever since. The countryside setting gives us the space and peace to focus on what we do best, crafting exceptional coffee.
We source beans from traceable farms and co-operatives around the world, working with specialist importers who share our commitment to quality and sustainability. These partnerships help us build genuine relationships with producers who are passionate about growing excellent coffee.
Every batch we roast focuses on freshness, seasonality, quality, and value. We believe great coffee starts with great beans and careful roasting, but it’s the relationships, with farmers, importers, and our customers, that make the real difference.
Quality is a collaborative effort. We travel to origin to learn from the people who know the bean best. By connecting producer expertise with customer experience, we make sure the care we take in the roast matches the care taken on the farm. It’s a transparent partnership that moves beyond transactions to deliver ground-breaking freshness from farm to cup.
