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 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: organically farmed, direct-traded coffees that don’t come with a side of 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.

Organic Certification

Is this coffee organic and tested for mould and mycotoxins?

Our Roastery Collection consisting of Signature Gold, Mocha Italiano & Black Gold is fully independently lab tested for artificial pesticides, moulds and mycotoxins. (although the coffee may not be certified organic as we work with very small farms).

More can be found here.

Notes of Chocolate Brownie & Nougat. Medium roast. Grown without artificial pesticides & fertiliser. Sourced from an amazing family run farm in Brazil. Medium roast, strength 3.5/5
Our all-new Black Gold Coffee - the perfect companion for black coffee drinkers or anyone who treasures a richly flavoured brew.

    So, What’s the Deal with Fazenda Dutra?

    Fazenda Dutra, a family-run gem in Brazil’s Matas de Minas region, has been perfecting sustainable, high-quality coffee since 1950. Founded by José Dutra Sobrinho, it’s now run by his two sons, Ednilson and Walter, alongside their quality-obsessed mother, Osvaldina. (Fun fact: They bagged an award in the Cup of Excellence 2020.)

    This 1,000-hectare farm is a model of sustainability:

    650 hectares are for coffee cultivation, while the rest is reserved for nature.

    They compost organic waste to create nutrient-rich fertilizers.

    Cover crops like legumes boost soil health, attract helpful insects, and keep weeds in check.

    When you sip this coffee, you’re not just tasting award-winning beans—you’re supporting a sustainable coffee chain and a family farm that’s doing things right. And isn’t that a reason to refill your cup?

    Great mellow flavour

    Very nice flavour of coffee, slightly more mild and less strongly roasted than the name 'Black gold' might suggest. Good caramelly / smooth / biscuity flavour

    Smooth Power

    None of the bitterness associated with dark strong coffee. A great way to start the day and great for a mid morning break. Highly recommended.
