Forest Edge Roasting Co. is a coffee roastery and coffee house in Lyndhurst, in the New Forest. The founder trained as a barista in Australia and returned to the UK wanting to bring that artisan coffee culture home, while also addressing what they describe as excessive plastic waste in the coffee industry.
They work with independent farmers and roast everything on site, trusting knowledge and senses over automated technology. The range includes house blends such as Forest Edge Roast, Muddy Paws, Hedgerow, North Ridge and S'mores, alongside single origin coffees from Papua New Guinea, Costa Rica, Guatemala and Brazil, plus a seasonal decaf.
Packaging is compostable or recyclable and the roastery runs on renewable energy. The Lyndhurst coffee house doubles as a local space for evening yoga, workshops and book clubs, and is dog friendly.
Wholesale supply goes to cafes, farm shops and holiday lets within 15 miles.
