Short & Curly's

Short and Curly's is a roastery run by two friends, Dan and Ant, based in Lichfield, Staffordshire. The name comes from their long-standing friendship and years of travel together, from Nepal and India to Vietnam, Indonesia, and Australia, an experience that became the catalyst for starting the roastery.

The range is compact: a house espresso blend, single origins from Uganda and Honduras, and a Yemen decaf. The business supplies wholesale and retail, with a frank, no-jargon approach to the trade that comes through clearly in their copy.

The Yemen decaf is a less common choice that suggests some deliberate sourcing decisions.
