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: direct-traded coffees that don’t come with a side of artificial 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.

The journey of Vanilla Heaven begins with a carefully crafted blend of Colombia, Caturra, and Castillo coffee varieties, cultivated by Colombian farmers in the country’s high-altitude regions, depending on the harvest season. The cherries are handpicked at peak ripeness and transported to El Vergel Estate, where they are processed and undergo a 24-hour pre-fermentation in cherry.
Following this stage, the cherries are depulped and washed before entering hermetic tanks for 96 hours of anaerobic fermentation enhanced with vanilla essence. This innovative co-fermentation technique intensifies the flavour profile while highlighting the coffee’s natural sweetness, complexity, and aromatic depth. The controlled fermentation environment ensures consistency and protects the distinct attributes of the blend.
Once fermentation is complete, the beans are mechanically dried in silos for 3–4 days, carefully reducing moisture levels. Finally, the coffee is stabilized for 30 days in GrainPro bags, allowing the flavors to harmonize and mature reaching the ideal moisture level, ensuring quality and stability for export.
