Wood Street coffee roasters are a speciality coffee roaster in Walthamstow, London. Their journey began in 2013 when the team started as a weekly pop up at Wood Street Market. Their popularity led to the opening four days a week in Walthamstow village. They lasted a mere 6 months before having to evolve again into a new space in the Blackhorse Workshop. “The founders Clare and Gareth move quick and are always looking to adapt and grow Wood Street coffee roasters. ” With Walthamstow now firmly on the speciality coffee map they have positioned themselves nicely to take advantage of the modern-day coffee snob in search of high-quality caffeine. Roasting their coffee on a Probat Wood Street coffee focus on quality and rotate fairly regularly. They source their coffee from all over the world and are passionate about pushing the boundaries of speciality coffee.

Coffee Origin
Tano Ndogo was established in 1965 and is exclusively using the variety of SL28 where the most nuanced coffee characteristics can be found. The varietal alongside the altitude of 1,820 MASL creates a wonderful complexity in the cup.
The Muuru brothers, Francis, David, James, John and Joseph, are experienced coffee farmers as can be seen by the excellent condition of their trees which they hope will each yield a respectable 30kg of cherries in the harvest of 2018/19. This year the farm produced around 180 bags of coffee in total.
The Tano Ndogo wet-mill processes coffee using methods typical throughout Kenya. Local people are paid to pick the ripe coffee cherries between October and January and these are pulped using disc pulpers in the wet mill.
What To Expect
The Kenyan Tano Ngogo from Wood Street Coffee Roasters begins its sensory takeover as soon as you open the bang, like with many Kenyans I have tasted over the years fruit is forward right from the get-go. Stone fruits like plums are certainly there, hints of acidity too.
