Rounton Coffee – Sustainably sourced, proper tasty coffee, roasted with care in North Yorkshire. Born in East Rounton, North Yorkshire; this multi-award winning roastery seeks to bring more accessibility to the world of speciality coffee. This brand promises to be transparent when it comes to sustainability and the impact that their resources may have on the planet, and aim to give back where possible to the people involved in the farming and delivery of this special coffee.

I was kindly gifted some samples from this Yorkshire-based independent business, off the back of a new launch of a Brazilian Coffee; Pinhal. The launch event took place at Thirsk Garden Centre and I was unable to attend, however I can say this coffee packs a delightful array of flavours. Upfront there is a big orange hit, then a stone fruit sweetness before a tangy berry finish.

The microlot is from Fazenda Pinhal, which was awarded Brazil’s most sustainable coffee farm in 2019. The farm is 100% run off solar energy and is two-thirds nature reserve, forest and pasture land, whilst also being a sanctuary to rehabilitate birds and other animals through the Wings Project. £2 of the RRP from each box of Pinhal sold is donated to Yorkshire Wildlife Trust to support their great work. So do your bit for the planet whilst you sip this tasty brew!

They actually have another coffee launching today 5th April !! The new Colombian Dulce Misterio Geisha coffee is floral, complex and a little zingy with hints of jasmine tea, lime and bubblegum (strawberry, banana and cherry flavours combined), but there is much more.

Dulce Misterio (Sweet Mystery) Farm is located in Neira, Caldas, part of Colombia’s coffee axis, and the owner Mauricio Duque says the mountain has very unique soil characteristics that result in a sweeter than usual coffee crop. To let the sweetness shine, Mauricio processes his coffee with exacting fermentation standards by tightly controlling PH, temperature and time.

As this is a special release, Rounton will be roasting and processing orders each Friday, starting from 5th April, to ensure freshness.

I have certainly enjoyed a powerful wake-up recently with these tasty brews, and in particular enjoy the flavours with cocoa of course.

Strong, unique tastes as well as supporting the planet, now THAT has my vote! Don’t just take my word for it, give this brand a look-up and order some delightful coffee-based treats yourself.

Not only can you enjoy this delicious coffee in the space o your own home, they also have a dog-friendly, cos coffee house in Norton open daily from 8:30am – 4pm where you can also grab some light bites and bakes to enjoy with your brew.
