Glen Lyon | El Remanso | Colombia

Glen Lyon roast their coffee in the Scottish Highlands. They started their journey back in 2011 at the top of one of the most beautiful glens in the Scottish Highlands. Armed with a 5kg roaster in a bothy (small hut or cottage) they initially sold their speciality coffee at local farmers markets. Their biggest challenge in the early days was getting the green beans delivered on a single track road.

About Glen Lyon | El Remanso | Colombia

In 2014 the roastery moved to Aberfeldy where they have been ever since. Now roasting on a 12kg Probat the business is thriving, supplying the people of Scotland with delicious freshly roasted speciality coffee. One of the things that stood out for me with Glenlyon, especially on their Instagram account, was the amount of greenery. Although their location is, of course, one of the most picturesque places in the UK, they also post many images of their other projects. They are committed to zero waste and making their impact on the planet a positive one. Every year their team plants trees in the Highlands to offset their carbon footprint. All of their speciality coffees are 100% traceable and ethically sourced. They build direct, long term relationships with producers and trading partners throughout the supply chain and pay the coffee farmers they work with significantly above Fairtrade prices.

What To Expect

The Fragrance of the unground coffee when I first opened the bag suggested cherries and sugared candy, it reminded me a little of candyfloss. The sweet-toned fragrance carried through into the ground coffee and the aroma of the brew.
