Quarter Horse Coffee Roasters

About Quarter Horse Coffee Roasters

Quarter Horse Coffee is located in Birmingham, UK. They are one of the few roasteries that have a coffee roaster in full view of the cafe… Something that is always great to see while sipping your flat white. The roastery/cafe set up shop in the Southside of the city on Bristol Street. Visit Quarter Horse’s Online Shop The name Quarter Horse is drawn from a racehorse that excels over short distances. Opening their doors in early 2015, this was the second cafe of the same name with the original located in Oxford. The co-owners knew that they wanted to expand the business and start roasting coffee of their own – what better place than the UK’s second city. Since they have gone from strength to strength and have cemented themselves as one of the best places to buy coffee in Birmingham. They source their green beans from international suppliers and select the coffee carefully after sample roasting. They have a unique coffee subscription, where they roast certain coffees only available to their roast master subscription holders. Quarter Horse are one of those roasters who have taken a responsibility to see where their coffee comes from and build relationships with people along the supply chain that focus on fairer than fair trade and sustainability in the industry. Trips to Peru and India enable them to educate their customers on issues faced at origin. The importers that they work closely with run several programs that give back to the locals at origin. An example of one of these can be found in the Women Coffee Producers program, which they buy from whenever available. The program seeks to address inequality in coffee-growing regions by creating equity, visibility and access to a wider market for women. Nathan on an origin trip to India
