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 one of 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.

More on the farmers:
High in the mountains of Cajamarca, Peru, coffee farming is a way of life. Here, smallholder producers cultivate coffee among the steep Andean slopes, working at altitude where cool temperatures and slow cherry development help build sweetness and complexity in the cup.
This coffee comes from the Chirinos cooperative, one of the pioneering coffee organisations in the region. Founded in 1968 by just 36 coffee producers, Chirinos was created to give farmers greater control over the coffee they produced and a stronger route to market.
More than five decades later, that spirit of cooperation is still at the heart of Chirinos.
The cooperative brings together hundreds of coffee-growing families and invests in helping its members improve both the quality of their coffee and the sustainability of their farms. Farmers receive support with cultivation, harvesting, processing and quality control, helping turn excellent coffee cherries into consistently exceptional green coffee.
From the mountains to your cup
The coffee cherries are carefully selected when ripe before being processed and prepared by the producers. The result is a wonderfully clean and sweet cup that showcases the classic character of high-grown Peruvian coffee.
On the first sip, expect smooth milk chocolate and creamy toffee sweetness, followed by notes of red apple and soft citrus that bring a gentle lift to the finish.
As the coffee cools, the sweetness becomes even more pronounced, revealing hints of brown sugar and honey.
