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 discovered that coffee is one big, tangled mess - dodgy practices and shady tactics all over the place. But there’s also a whole lot of amazing farmers doing it right. So, I ditched the usual suspects and set off on a quest for the good stuff: direct-traded coffees served with a generous side of transparency.
With some caffeine-fuelled creativity, I’m here to bring you one of the finest (and cleanest) coffee experiences possible. It’s coffee refreshingly drama free.

The Coffee:
The journey of Montebonito (beautiful mountain) coffee begins with the careful selection of Castillo Naranjal cherries, a variety well-suited to the high-altitude regions of Colombia. Handpicked at peak ripeness, the cherries are taken to the mill, where they undergo aerobic fermentation for 12–14 hours in open concrete tanks. After fermentation, the cherries are depulped and thoroughly washed to remove the remaining mucilage, a process that highlights the clean and vibrant character of this lot.
Once washed, the beans are transferred to sun canopies for 5 days of drying. This natural method allows for slow, even dehydration, preserving flavor integrity and achieving the ideal moisture balance. To complete the process, the coffee is stabilised for 30 days in GrainPro bags, a resting phase that allows the flavours to harmonise and fully mature before export.
