Calendar Coffee Roasters

The story of Calendar Coffee Roasters started in 2014 in Workshop Coffee, London

Here Zarah & Dan learnt that the best tasting coffee was almost always the one that was most recently harvested.

Coffee is best treated like any other fresh produce, and the the pair saw an opportunity to improve quality through the way they source and the producers they work with.

Over the forthcoming years, the idea for a seasonal roastery started to take shape and in November 2017, the couple relocated to their hometown of Galway to make their dream a reality.

Following the harvest calendar, the coffees and origins that they work with are always changing, depending on which countries are harvesting and the coffees that taste best.

But it’s not just about great tasting coffee. Environmental responsibility is at the heart of everything Calendar do, and their goal is to build a coffee company for the future.

How We Review Coffee?

We receive coffees from roasters throughout the UK to taste and review. All of our coffee reviews are our own words and thoughts, we don’t receive any form of payment for any of our reviews.

Our coffee reviews always start with an introduction to each independent coffee roaster.

At Batch, we are all about celebrating the incredibly talented roasters that we have in the UK and telling their stories. Each one roasting the coffee slightly different.

We then explore the origin of the coffee and take a look at where the coffee has been grown and the process that it has gone through once it has been picked.

Every coffee growing origin has a different set of characteristics when it comes to the final cup, whether it’s fruity and floral or chocolatey and full the origin of speciality coffee is always celebrated.

The last part of our coffee review is what we tasted in the coffee. Speciality coffee has some incredible flavour notes (more than wine), some dark and rich while others on the opposite end of the flavour spectrum are light and fruity, we try and explain what we taste in the coffee however like with many complex tasting foods or drinks it is also down to perception and personal opinion.

So if we have tasted orange zest and you get watermelon then that is brilliant and what we think speciality coffee is all about (as long as you like the coffee).

We then score the coffee on attributes like body, aroma, sweetness and flavour. Some of the coffees you may then find in our coffee club voted the best coffee subscription in the UK by the Independent.
