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.

Espírito Santo, located in southeastern Brazil, offers a captivating blend of its stunning coastline, verdant mountains, and flourishing forests. Amidst the vibrant landscape, lies a remarkable coffee project known as Café Bio. Spanning across approximately 600 acres of land, this biodynamic farm is home to over 300,000 coffee trees, each playing a vital role in producing exceptional coffee and cascara tea.
The Café Bio Project utilizes biodynamic farming which is a holistic, ecological, and ethical approach to agriculture that incorporates similar methods and values of organic farming. This agricultural approach promotes self sufficiency for both the farmers and the land while limiting the use of pesticides, fertilisers, or herbicides.
Decreasing reliance on chemical applications enhances the soil quality and can help better preserve the natural flavours and health benefits of the coffee plant. In biodynamic farming, the goal is to operate and sustain the natural ecosystem of the land and the agricultural methods are used with the intention to maintain the natural function and balance of the land.
By adhering to biodynamic farming practices, Café Bio Project strives to enhance the quality of life for the farmers, surrounding community, and the environment through strengthening soil quality, preserving water resources, and reducing carbon emissions. The commitment to using the methods of biodynamic farming not only ensures the sustainability of coffee production but also contributes to the overall well-being of the environment.
This coffee is produced using organic farming practices at origin. While we are no longer certified organic, the farmers do not use synthetic pesticides or fertilisers.
