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 discovered that coffee is one big, tangled mess - dodgy practices and shady tactics all over the place. But there’s also a whole lot of amazing farmers doing it right. So, I ditched the usual suspects and set off on a quest for the good stuff: direct-traded coffees served with a generous side of transparency.
With some caffeine-fuelled creativity, I’m here to bring you one of the finest (and cleanest) coffee experiences possible. It’s coffee refreshingly drama free.

The Coffee:
This yellow honey San Roque comes from Finca Chayote, one of several farms run by the Aguilera brothers in Costa Rica’s West Valley. With decades of experience and a strong focus on variety and processing, the twelve Aguilera siblings have become one of the most respected producing families in the country – consistently delivering expressive, high-quality lots.
San Roque – also known as San Roque Kenia or Kenia – is a natural mutation of SL-28 that first appeared in Costa Rica. Like its Kenyan parent, it’s known for bright fruit acidity and a complex profile often likened to cola. In this lot, processed as a yellow honey, that acidity is matched by depth and sweetness. Expect notes of sugar cane, molasses, and brown sugar, balanced by dark chocolate, sweet spice, and florals like jasmine and honeysuckle. Juicy, rounded, and long on the finish.
Cupping Notes
Bright and juicy with a sweet, long-lasting finish. Brown sugar, sugar cane, and molasses give depth to a syrupy body, layered with dark chocolate, jasmine, and soft spice. Balanced, clean, and rounded with lively acidity.
