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.

Nestled deep within the Andes mountains, where golden sunlight filters through the misty forests, lies Emmanuel and Valentina's farm - La Roma.
Emanuel and Valentina have been working with their own farm – along with around 40 neighbouring farms to create a strategic bridge between the farmers who grow small quantities and external markets who demand larger quantities. Introducing: La Roma!
Handpicked by experienced farmers, every coffee cherry is harvested at peak ripeness. On sunlit patios, beans are dried slowly and evenly, their transformation overseen with meticulous care. Each step honours traditions passed down through generations, ensuring the final product captures the essence of the farms terroir.
Once the coffee cherries are picked, pulped and submerged in spring water for the next 24hrs. After fermentation, the mucilage is removed and the coffee is transported to La Roma where all the lots are blended and dried in the sun on raised beds for 20-25 days. The blending and drying allow for all the coffee to homogenize resulting in a rich cup with notes of milk chocolate, almond and tea.
