Coffee with its paperwork in order.

We responsibly roast ethically sourced coffee beans at Denbies Wine Estate in Dorking, and sell them as beans and ground coffee, for people who want to know exactly what is in their cup.

Where the coffee comes from

This is what we can read off the sacks in Fig. 1. It is a record of green coffee in the roastery, not a menu, so ask us what is roasted and ready when you visit.

Where a field is blank on the sack, it stays blank here. We would rather leave a gap than guess.

Our standard

If you care what goes into your cup, you should be able to see where it came from. So we buy coffee that is ethically sourced, we roast it responsibly ourselves, and we judge the result on one thing: does it taste delicious?

Chimney Fire Coffee, Denbies Wine Estate

  • Ethically sourced

    Green coffee bought with its origin on record, like the Peru Arabica from a cooperative.

  • Responsibly roasted

    We do the roasting ourselves, here in Dorking, rather than buying it in.

  • Delicious first

    Traceability matters, but the cup is the point. Every roast is aimed at flavour.
