Cooper & Co is one of Jersey's oldest surviving locally owned businesses, founded in 1834 by Thomas Cooper, Richard Cooper and John Stringer as a wholesale commodities operation. By 1890 the company was trading on King Street as established tea merchants, and coffee roasting today is a natural extension of that heritage.
The business now roasts and packs from its hub at 57 Halkett Place in St Helier, supplying more than 300 outlets across Jersey including Michelin starred restaurants, offices and beach cafes. Cooper & Co runs three cafes of its own at Castle Quay, IFC 5 and Grand Marche, alongside the Halkett Place store.
The team has visited coffee growing regions including Peru and Bolivia in 2013, the Araku Valley in India in 2015, Northern Sumatra in 2016, Myanmar in 2018 and Honduras, maintaining direct producer relationships. Decaffeinated coffee is offered via the Swiss Water Process.
Cooper & Co is a longstanding member of the Fairtrade Foundation, offers Rainforest Alliance certified lines and holds Eco-Active recognition from the States of Jersey for its environmental practices.
