Red Bank Coffee Roasters is an online roastery built around close producer relationships rather than broker catalogues. The team visits origin year on year, opening up collaborative arrangements that go beyond standard buying.

At Daterra in Brazil they run an agricultural experiment on a dedicated plot, and at El Fenix in Colombia they have worked with the farm to develop bespoke fermentation and processing protocols. Other coffees come through trusted importing partners including Raw Material, Red Beetle and DR Wakefield.

Red Bank roasts exclusively on Loring machines, citing their energy efficiency and the cleaner, more expressive cup they produce. The roastery was the first in the UK to adopt fully recyclable packaging made predominantly from post-consumer recycled plastic.

Two percent of coffee sales revenue goes to charitable, environmental and community causes. The current line-up runs to eleven coffees from Brazil, Colombia, Ethiopia, Mexico, Kenya and Rwanda, available in 250g and 1kg formats, with a Colombia decaf processed using EA sugar cane.
