Founded in Somerset in 2012, Round Hill Roastery operates with a clear purpose: to deliver clarity and consistency from farm to cup. The roastery specialises in single-estate coffees, building long-term, direct supply relationships with producers that aim to be both sustainable and equitable, with prices paid well above C-market rates. Seasonality is central to their philosophy; their offering evolves like a seasonal menu, reflecting global harvest cycles. Round Hill roasts on a direct-flame Probat, combining traditional flame roasting with a Scandinavian-inspired approach that prioritises clarity, brightness, and origin character. Their sourcing model centres on key relationship coffees from farms and cooperatives they have worked with for close to a decade, committing to volume purchases of house coffees from single estates while also offering smaller, distinctive microlots. This structure allows them to present a comprehensive picture of each farm's work. Alongside core range offerings, they regularly feature microlots exploring new varieties, origins, and experimental processing methods.
