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.

“Truly excellent coffee. Tried this company and it's Black Gold coffee beans recently in our eternal quest for delicious coffee at home and it didn't disappoint! The coffee is gorgeous and every interaction with the company impressive. My new favourite without a doubt!” - Thank you Lea!
Latte, Flat White, Cappuccino, Espressos, Americanos, stronger Filter coffees & Bean to cup coffees. Particularly good for espresso based drinks. Stands up well to milk and oat/dairy alternatives.
“Lovely rich coffee! The smell wafting from the kitchen did not disappoint the taste test. Smooth with no bitter acidic aftertaste. Bonus was the Italian coffee with Panetonne - pure heaven.” - thank you Katarina!
A sweet and balanced coffee with flavours of caramel, nut and hints of cookie, low acidity, good body and clean tasting finish.

Nestled deep within the Andes mountains, where golden sunlight filters through the misty forests, lies Emmanuel and Valentina's farm - La Roma.
Emmanuel and Valentina have been working with their own farm – along with around 40 neighbouring farms to create a strategic bridge between the farmers who grow small quantities and external markets who demand larger quantities.
Handpicked by experienced farmers, every coffee cherry is harvested at peak ripeness. On sunlit patios, beans are dried slowly and evenly, their transformation overseen with meticulous care. Each step honours traditions passed down through generations, ensuring the final product captures the essence of the farms terroir.
Once the coffee cherries are picked, pulped and submerged in fresh spring water for the next 24hrs. After fermentation, the mucilage is carefully removed and the coffee is dried in the sun on raised beds for 20-25 days. The blending and drying allow for all the coffee to homogenise resulting in a rich cup with notes of caramel, cookie and nut.
When your coffee carries the little green frog, it means big things behind the scenes. Rainforest Alliance certification isn’t just a badge—it’s a sign your beans are doing good while tasting great.
Here’s what’s brewing behind that logo:
☕ Sustainable Farming Practices
Farmers follow rigorous standards that protect soil health, biodiversity, and water resources—so your morning brew isn’t trashing the planet.
→ Certified farms use up to 36% less synthetic pesticide than non-certified farms.
🌍 Climate Resilience
RA-certified farms are trained in climate-smart agriculture—things like shade-grown practices and natural pest control—to help coffee plants thrive even in a warming world.
→ Over 2.3 million farmers and workers are part of the RA certification system globally.
🌾 Fairer Working Conditions
From safe working environments to fairer wages and stronger workers’ rights, RA helps farmers build better livelihoods—not just better beans.
🐦 Biodiversity Protection
Rainforest Alliance farms create habitats, not monocultures. Expect birds, bees, and balance.
→ Certified farms protect more than 3.5 million hectares of land worldwide.
So when you choose Rainforest Alliance certified coffee, you're not just choosing great taste—you’re backing better farming, better forests, and a future where coffee doesn’t cost the Earth.
