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.

Nicaragua – Classic, Easy-Drinking.
Santa Maria has grown under the ownership of Victor Robelo to just over 35ha from the 17ha it was in 2017. Forming part of Grupo Las Nubes, it is one of seven farms in the Matagalpa and Jinotega region. It lies within La Reserva El Arenal so coffee here grows in the shade of the forest, and has been part of the family since 2011.
Ownership in the family went through hard times with the conflict when they were forced off the land, but he has since come back to purchase and restore the farms his father owned with a purpose to have a high-performance and high-quality coffee.
Speaking to ACE when he won the Cup Of Excellence back in 2017 he attributed the ongoing success to the team he works with. Victor himself is the third generation of his family owning farms in coffee since 1937.
We roast it to a medium level to bring out that natural sweetness and balance. Great for espresso, filter, or just a classic cafetière brew.
