Discover Lost Sheep Coffee Roasters and the incredible coffee they showcase.
Who are Lost Sheep Coffee Roasters?
In 2011 the founders of Lost Sheep quit their careers working long hours to spend a year backpacking across the world.
When they arrived in Melbourne, Australia, they discovered Australian-style coffee and instantly knew they had to bring this style of coffee back to the UK. They didn’t realize it at the time, but in that moment, Lost Sheep Coffee was born.
In 2012, they purchased a three-wheeled micro coffee van and pitched up on Canterbury high street.
Their aim was simple: introduce their local community to specialty Australian coffee. In 2014 they upgraded to their Lost Sheep Coffee Pod and in 2015 they opened a second location in Ashford, at the McArthur Glenn Designer Outlet.
In 2017 they upgraded their Canterbury Pod and opened what would become their award-winning specialty coffee roastery in Whitstable, Kent.
They roast and send out beans and capsules to their wonderful customers all over the world as well as supplying their fantastic wholesale customers.
The Origin
The African Moon coffee from Lost Sheep Coffee Roasters originates from the Rwenzori Mountains region of Uganda.
More than 1000 passionate farmers contribute to this regular seasonal harvest. Typical farmers' plot sizes will range from one to three acres and are located across the hillsides of the luscious Rwenzori mountains. This coffee is regularly the primary income for many of the families of the Rwenzoris.
The Natural process has always been the commonly practiced method for producing coffee in the Rwenzoris.
A recurring sight as you travel through the mountains is seeing farmers drying their harvests on tarpaulins out the front of their homes. Once processed the coffee is then sourced by Agri Evolve and sorted into appropriate lots organised by location and date.
Despite encouragement to sell coffee as cherries, there is still a demand driven by farmers to produce traditional natural processed coffee as it is deep-rooted in the history of the Rwenzori people.
Over many generations, they have developed and refined the optimum method of treating their coffee creating unique flavours from the Mountains of the moon.
