Coffee Roasting
Our master roasters use a 50-year-old Probat roaster to craft small-batch coffees, ensuring optimal flavour development through precise temperature control. Each roast is monitored visually to achieve perfect colour and aroma. We maintain freshness by packing coffees within an hour of roasting, preserving delicate characteristics from the green beans.
Tea Blending
We source premium tea leaves from China, India, and Indonesia, creating blends through meticulous tasting and testing. Our master blenders combine traditional methods with modern innovation, producing classic varieties and unique flavours like Heather and Whisky-infused teas. Every batch undergoes quality checks to ensure consistent taste profiles.
