Who are Kin Coffee Roasters?

Kin Coffee was founded in 2019 by partners Greg and Kate.

Their story began in West London, where they resided for several years. However, when the coronavirus pandemic struck, they chose to seek refuge in the tranquility of the Kentish countryside.

What they found themselves missing the most after relocating was the joy of waking up on a sunny morning, riding the Ducati, and indulging in a flat white from the diverse selection of exquisite boutique coffee houses they had enjoyed while exploring the city.

 

They were experiencing serious withdrawal from their high-quality caffeine fix!

The solution initially presented itself with the acquisition of a splendid VBM espresso machine and Ceado grinder.

Despite mastering the perfect grind size and learning the art of latte, they couldn't quite replicate the bold flavors they had savored in their favorite cafés.

The problem, as it turned out, was the freshness of the coffee. Once they began ordering from websites that offered "freshly roasted coffee delivered to your door," their taste buds were once again satisfied.

They then immersed themselves in the nuanced world of coffee.

They explored where the beans are harvested—the raw coffee "beans" are actually a light green seed from the cherry-like fruit of the Coffea plant—how the fruit is processed, the bean extracted (which greatly affects the taste in the cup), how it is traded and exported, and finally, how it is roasted, ground, and brewed.

One sunny day, the quaint but slightly forlorn "potting shed" in their garden seemed to be calling out for use. They decided that refurbishing the building would be an excellent lockdown project, but the space would also be perfect for trying their hand at roasting coffee themselves. So, they ordered a commercial roaster!

They have been directly trading with a single farm in Brazil since their inception for their mainstay coffee and have a diverse range of solely naturally-processed options supplied by Falcon in Lewes, East Sussex. All roasted with a view to develop the natural innate flavour profiles present in the beans and swaying away from the dark side of bitter espresso roasts

 
 

 

The Origin

The Farmbird coffee from Kin Coffee Roasters originates from the Alta Mogiana region of Brazil.

Due to the love and care of the lancha oliveira family, this coffee achieved a score of 85 points by the speciality coffee association which is considered “excellent” (the threshold for specialty coffee is 80)

They are devoted to the sustainability of their farming community and the rainforests which is reflected by their formation of the labareda group in 1984 and their more recent u.t.z. certification, which is part of the rainforest alliance
