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 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.

The Coffee
Turihamwe is a women-led initiative, built and owned by a group of seven entrepreneurial coffee farmers who pooled their savings, now involving more than 2000 smallholders in the area earned through quality premiums from JNP Coffee, to create Burundi’s first woman-owned wet mill. When they began, there wasn’t even a road to the site. Undeterred, they built one themselves. With support from JNP Coffee and their own investment group, these women turned a dream into a thriving business. Since its founding in 2019, Turihamwe has grown from producing five micro-lots to 1,200 bags of coffee per year, all while maintaining a focus on quality and sustainability.
Turihamwe specializes in the fully washed process, the process begins with mechanical removal of the pulp, followed by overnight fermentation under water to remove the mucilage. The beans are then sorted by density in channels, soaked, and finally dried on raised African beds. At the station most of the drying is shaded and in open air, and using pyramid-style arrangements to ensure slow, even drying over 15 to 20 days.
The station’s design includes tiled fermentation tanks, which are easier to clean and help maintain the purity of the coffee. Water used in processing is filtered before being returned to the river, a practice that reflects the group’s commitment to environmental stewardship. Fertilizer use is minimal due to cost, making the coffee organically grown by default, nourished by the region’s rich volcanic soils.
Once opened, consume within 4-6 weeks for best results and before best before date. Unopened lasts for 6 months. Best kept in cool dry environment.
No fancy words a about what flavour-notes I get, just great coffee, giving me everything I want from my cafetière, a flavourful medium roast coffee that is a delight to drink just as it comes out of the pot, black and unsweetened.
Such yummy beans
Certainly a different taste with banana tones. Ok once you've had a few cups and get used to the fruity taste.
Fast delivery as usual ! I treated these beans as Medium to light roast with a slightly courser grind in a Sage grinder and expresso machine - quite easy to dial in. Great result and a lovely taste. Still working on my latte art - 2 months in !
This Christmas yeti coffee is delicious savouring my last few beans I have been brewing it in a Vietnamese phone coffee filter which my daughter brought me back from her time there. The coffee is rich of chocolate and sweet of toffee notes simply delicious.
Tried the Organic Gold, Simmer Down Decaf & Brazil Tropical
The decaf is the best i have had in a decaf. The signature Gold is my go to as it a great taste and full flavour. Just ordering again
Good quality Coffee bean, do the work well, I am surprised they have free delivery, absolutely will return.
A delicious coffee which is part of my morning driver. I've never been disappointed with any of West Berkshires coffees, quality, super tasty coffee.
My search for coffee from Yemen was my reason for finding West Berkshire roastery. Best beans I've tried ever. The character in the cup resembles no other coffee. Took me a while to dial in properly but was well worth the effort. I will be buying this again if WB manage to get their hands on some more. Good price from these guys too I must add.
Thos is amazing coffee. Perfect taste and consistency. The prices are also very reasonable. Highly recommended.
The roast was ok, found it too of a
Light roast for me. I am a fN of the Gold roast selection now.
Very impressed, lovely flavour … all round the ordering and response times are very good… I also like the way it’s packaged… 5/5
Lovely coffee.
Love the chocolate brownie coffee; rich, full flavour which really hits the spot.
Great tasting coffee. Perfect for my sage barista pro coffee machine.
First time I've tried these beans but it won't be the last! Nice hints of chocolate and caramel and a balanced acidity. It’s well worth a try.
I have always had a liking for Brazilian beans but often found them (for my taste) too lightly roasted. So far I am enjoying this Chocolate Brownie Blend. As a medium to dark roast I feel it gets it just right.
I tell people I get “roast and post” coffee because they roast it the day they post it. Fresh, great tasting coffee every time. I don’t go anywhere else for my beans
I enjoyed the Chocolate Brownie blend but not as much as the Signature Gold blend which is still my preferred blend
I was mostly interested in V60 method and noticed subtle fruitiness, but otherwise it can create tasty espresso and flat whites.
Taste of chocolate & very sweet,bit different nice
Just finished my bag of this great coffee.
Quite smooth but with a strong almost earthy hit but keeps a nice flavour of chocolate/ caramel.
As it’s quite punchy I probably made my first couple or brews on the strong side!
Another good monthly specialty to hit the spot!
Can always rely on great tasting beans, freshly roasted
Very nice and smooth taste. Easy to dial in.
Huehuetenango, Guatemala is a high-altitude and mountainous region, its coffee flows like melted chocolate and caramel with a subtle acidity. It’s absolute amazing!
I liked this coffee, nice flavour, no bitterness nice and smooth.
