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.
Certification

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.
Love this one and super fresh
Nice mild taste, dead easy to dial in.
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.
This was my first time buying whole bean coffee. I like my coffee black with no sweetner. I used 20g, grinded with Baratza Encore, then added to an aeropress, then 250ml filter water that was 2m off the boil with a 2-3 minute steep. It was okay. Flavour peaked at 12-15 days since roast date. Not much of a caffine hit but tasted about 25% nicer than instant. I'm going onto Robusta beans next as it seems to be more my taste. But this was a decent intro to whole bean traceable same-day roasted coffee. It did not tatse bad and if someone has a preference for a safe cup of coffee I'd reccomend this brand.
Great Coffe with great service
One of my favourite brands. Makes a nice, smooth latte
Impressed with the seasonal special roast - Mexico IYO SII. The medium roast profile hits a perfect sweet spot — rich enough for depth, yet smooth enough for an easy everyday cup.
Cheers guys, really enjoyed the beans super fresh an full of flavour! Easy to dial in with a awesome crema. Feeling the choc browinie in particular big thanks!!🤟🏽
Really smooth, gorgeous coffee. Beautiful flavour & aroma. They're all lovely though!
One of my favourites so far, really balanced tasting making a great tasting coffee!
Great to see alternate infused flavours to change it up. Subtle banana after taste, would prefer a little bit stronger but that’s my personal preference.
Love the coffee, we live in south Wales and I order what seems to be monthly! Always arrived quickly and the coffee tastes amazing
Smooth and delicious, real milk chocolate of a coffee! Great drunk black or as a bulletproof and makes a super morning cup worth stopping for a minute to savour it
Love this one, dark strong and Flavorsome
I keep coming back to this blend because it works so well. And yes, it tastes great with a chocolate brownie.
nice chocolate and caramel hint, love the freshness
