Welcome To Shropshire Coffee

We have been roasters of fine coffee since 1958, and have always used traditional equipment to slowly roast the highest quality coffee beans to achieve distinctive flavored coffee blends.

Shropshire Coffee’s policy is to support the coffee growers, by buying coffee that has been purchased direct from the Farms under the Fairly Traded or Community Coffee system and Rain Forest Alliance sustainable coffees, guaranteeing the farmers a premium for their coffee. Fairly traded Coffee or Community Coffee is not a branded product and therefore no money is spent on advertising or wages to promote the product. Branded products can have the reverse effect, in as much as, if less scrupulous suppliers begin to compete, prices will be lowered having a knock on effect on the growers who are locked into the brand.

Coffee bought under this system can be 30% more expensive than that purchased on the open coffee markets, no money is spent on branding or advertising, allowing us to target money to the farmers and their workers and the coffee community in general. Also this gives us some control over the coffee produced to guarantee high quality coffee.

Shropshire Coffee’s main supplier of raw green coffee beans is D.R. Wakefield & Company Ltd., and have been using John Brown’s expertise for over 20 years! A visit to their home page is an education in the production and sourcing of raw green coffee beans.

We have coffee from Brazil (Fazenda Fortaleza), Costa Rica (West Valley Naranjo with over 3000 member Farmers), Colombia (Popoyan Estate Women’s Co-operative), the Indian farms of Bibi in the region of Sunti Copper and Nath in the western region of Gat.

Colombian coffees predominately feature in our blends. Formed in 1927 to guarantee a fair price for growers and farmers or Cafeteros. More than 560,000 Cafeteros ( coffee farmers ) own the co-operative and the program has an immeasurable impact on the total infrastructure of the Nation. Transport, schools and health centres make a real difference to millions of families in Colombia. All our freeze dried coffee comes from FNC wholly owned factory in Chinchina Colombia. 79 years of Fair and Ethical Trading.

Coffees from the Rainforest Alliance are also used, this ensures that the farmers receive more for their coffee thus negating the need to cut down more Rainforest and destruction of wild life. On farms certified by the Rainforest Alliance the environment and wild life are conserved. The farmers, workers and their families are treated with respect, the infrastructure of the communities becomes sustainable, medical care, education, clean water and transport. 17 years of Fair and Ethical Trading.

By buying direct we can guarantee that more of the money we pay for our coffee goes direct to the farmers, workers and their families. A Sustainable, Fair and Ethical way of Trading.

We also have a full range of coffee machines and water treatment units, and our own engineers that are able to undertake repairs from simple maintenance to full service and rebuilds of machines.

For your ultimate enjoyment of the perfect cup of freshly ground coffee we offer a complete customer service and the finest blends of coffees, thus providing a package leaving nothing to chance.
