Our Story

I'm Alex and what started in 2014 with a single coffee van (and a dream) has now become West Berkshire Roastery - complete with two coffee roasters and a Labrador who thinks he’s the CEO.

Along the way, I uncovered some truths: coffee is the planet’s most sprayed crop. Pesticides? Chemicals? Absolutely everywhere. So, I ditched the usual beans and went on a quest for the good stuff: organically farmed, direct-traded coffees that don’t come with a side of pesticides.

With a bit of Berkshire flair and caffeine-fuelled creativity, I’m here to bring you one of the finest (and cleanest) coffee experiences you’ll ever sip. I hope you’ll agree. It’s coffee refreshingly drama free.

Organic Certification

Is this coffee organic and tested for mycotoxins?

Our Roastery Collection consisting of Signature Gold, Mocha Italiano & Black Gold is fully independently lab tested for artificial pesticides, moulds and mycotoxins.

They are also 100% certified organic by the Soil Association.

    So, What’s the Deal with Fazenda Dutra?

    Fazenda Dutra, a family-run gem in Brazil’s Matas de Minas region, has been perfecting sustainable, high-quality coffee since 1950. Founded by José Dutra Sobrinho, it’s now run by his two sons, Ednilson and Walter, alongside their quality-obsessed mother, Osvaldina. (Fun fact: They bagged an award in the Cup of Excellence 2020.)

    This 1,000-hectare farm is a model of sustainability:

    650 hectares are for coffee cultivation, while the rest is reserved for nature.

    They compost organic waste to create nutrient-rich fertilizers.

    Cover crops like legumes boost soil health, attract helpful insects, and keep weeds in check.

    When you sip this coffee, you’re not just tasting award-winning beans—you’re supporting a sustainable coffee chain and a family farm that’s doing things right. And isn’t that a reason to refill your cup?

    Great mellow flavour

    Very nice flavour of coffee, slightly more mild and less strongly roasted than the name 'Black gold' might suggest. Good caramelly / smooth / biscuity flavour

    Smooth Power

    None of the bitterness associated with dark strong coffee. A great way to start the day and great for a mid morning break. Highly recommended.
