Meet the Roaster: Caravan Coffee Roasters
Islington, London.
As long term fans of Caravan Coffee Roasters, featuring them in the Good Brew Box was an easy decision, but choosing which of our favourite blends to include? Not so much.
The team at Caravan are constantly challenging and raising the standards of the UK coffee scene — not just through their stand-out cafés and restaurants — but also by sourcing and roasting some of the best coffee around.
Based at Lamb Works, a repurposed Victorian warehouse in Islington, their site houses an eco-friendly Loring Smart Roaster, quality control lab, coffee school, bakery, drinks lab, events space and head offices for both the restaurant and roasting businesses.
Sourcing green coffee from single farms and specialty estates as far as Ethiopia, Colombia and Rwanda (just to name a few) their focus is quality, provenance, sustainability, freshness and fair relationships with the growers. When they find a coffee they love, they take the time to enhance the roast profile to bring out the best flavour characteristics. This is why they constantly develop their seasonal espresso blends and single origin offers, keeping in line with the best crops from each season.
