Glorious Beans

Littlestone Coffee now trades as Glorious Beans, a small Sussex roastery based at Northlands Business Park in Horsham. It was founded in the fourth quarter of 2023 by Oliver Broster, whose coffee career began in 1994 at Truxo Coffee in London before working in import and retail roles across the United States, Singapore and Japan.

Glorious Beans sources, roasts and packs 100% Arabica coffees in Sussex and supplies retailers, cafés, delis, restaurants and offices across the UK, with a particular customer base in Sussex, Surrey and London. The range is small and focused: two house blends including a decaffeinated blend, plus single origins from Brazil, Colombia, Guatemala, Kenya and Indonesia.

The team is deliberately small and family run, with non-core functions outsourced. The site also stocks tea and sells bean-to-cup and espresso machines for office and trade customers through its wholesale channel.
