Established in 2018 by Craig Bosworth, Jute Coffee operates from their roastery in Thrapston, Kettering. The company has pioneered sustainable practices in the UK coffee industry, becoming the first supplier to implement a reusable tub system for commercial customers.
Their roasting philosophy centres on small-batch production, with all beans hand-roasted to maintain consistent quality. The company sources exclusively 100% arabica beans from small cooperatives worldwide, focusing on building lasting relationships with their farming partners.
Jute’s environmental commitment extends beyond sourcing, incorporating a comprehensive zero-waste approach to their operations. They’ve developed an innovative closed-loop system where commercial customers receive their coffee in reusable food-safe tubs, significantly reducing packaging waste. This initiative is complemented by their ground coffee recycling programme, which transforms used grounds into compost through local partnerships.
The roastery maintains a diverse product range, including their signature house blend and rotating selection of single-origin coffees. Their wholesale operation supplies cafes, restaurants, hotels and corporate clients across the UK, while also maintaining a direct-to-consumer channel through their online platform.
Their sustainable approach has garnered recognition within the industry, with their reusable packaging system setting new standards for environmental responsibility in coffee distribution. Operating from their Northamptonshire base, they’ve successfully demonstrated how specialty coffee production can align with strong environmental principles, establishing themselves as innovators in the UK’s specialty coffee sector.
