The Farm Pledge, in four lines.
We wrote our own buying standard when we started roasting in 2009. Every coffee we sell is bought this way, and the farmer's name is on the bag.
A price agreed with the farmer
Negotiated face to face, above the market price, for quality we have cupped ourselves.
Long relationships
We would rather buy from the same farms every year than chase a new lot each season. We go back every harvest.
Quality scored and published
Every lot is cupped on arrival and scored. The score is on the product page, not in a drawer.
Roasted to order
Small-batch roasting in Deptford, packed the same day, posted within 24 hours. The roast date is printed on every bag.
Cafés, restaurants, offices
Serve Wrenhallow in your place.
A good share of what we roast goes to cafés, restaurants, offices and hotels. We train your team, service your machine and roast to your volume, from one kilo a week to a pallet.
