Beanberry Coffee, the UK’s first and only speciality coffee roaster and retailer fully dedicated to producing the highest quality organic coffee, is opening a new coffee bar in Holborn this November, following the success of its first site in Kingston Upon Thames.
The brand has a unique vision of quality that combines its focus on delivering great taste with a commitment to the environment and sustainability. Beanberry’s approach to coffee quality encompasses the full circle of coffee fundamentals from cup quality to ethics, sustainability, and the health of growers and consumers alike.
Located on High Holborn in the heart of central London, Beanberry Coffee is designed for both locals and destination drinkers. It has a classic San Francisco feel and style, with full focus is on the coffee.
The Coffee
Beanberry Coffee’s product line is always comprised of three seasonal blends, featuring Javascript Espresso, Wildcat Espresso & 8AM Blues, and an ever-changing selection of single origin coffees sourced from around the world, including Colombia, Peru, Guatemala, Honduras and Ethiopia.
Central to Beanberry’s unique approach is its commitment to being fully organic. Conventionally grown non-organic coffee is one of the most chemically treated agricultural commodities in the world, whilst the coffee grown in accordance with organic practices is ecologically pure and has no traces of synthetic fertilisers and pesticides grown into the beans. Beanberry believes that their coffee therefore not only provides the purity of taste but is also better for everyone’s health and directly encourages sustainability and environmentally friendly organic farming.
There are always four organic espressos, including decaf, offered in all usual forms with or without milk. Beanberry also offers an extensive filter coffee menu that is comprised of five to six seasonal single origin coffees that deliver an extensive variety of origin flavours. Beanberry’s own organic coldbrew coffee is also served either over ice or as nitro.
In addition to coffee, Beanberry serves organic leaf teas, organic cold press juices and small selection of carefully selected and freshly baked cakes and pastries. There is also a small selection of savoury items prepared on site and served for breakfast and lunch. Where possible, organic ingredients are always used.
For any milky beverages, only whole organic milk, selected from the best British single estate dairies, is used. For those who prefer to avoid dairy, there is also a choice of oat or soy milk.
Design
Hart Miller Design (www.hartmillerdesign.co.uk) were appointed to carry out the minimalistic design , creating an interior that features an industrial aesthetic combines with joinery and furnishings featuring solid wood and other sustainable materials. The venue features a coffee lounge area at the front, which is perfect for solo or social drinking, a central coffee bar and a communal table in the back, that makes an ideal coworking area or space for meetings.
Roasting Method
Beanberry roasts on-demand in small batches at its own roastery in Surrey. Its unique approach to coffee quality combines the leading speciality industry practices in coffee selection and recipe development, that uncover and underline each bean’s unique character, with a commitment to ecological purity and environmental sustainability. Beanberry strives to deliver to its customers the coffee that is the ultimate combination of taste, purity and freshness.
Beanberry roasts its coffee using best-in-class traditional small batch roasters, which allows the Roast Master to develop and consistently reproduce a unique approach for each type of coffee. This respects every bean’s distinct origin, varietal, growing altitude, processing method and climatic and soil conditions to bring out the best flavour.
As coffee retains its quality at its absolute best for about two weeks after roasting, all of Beanberry’s coffee is bagged for freshness immediately after roasting and shipped within five days of the roasting date to ensure it arrives tasting its best. When it arrives, Beanberry Coffee recommends that it is then ‘settled’, and left in its bag, for eight to ten days after the roasting date, to bring out the best of the unique flavour and aroma of the beans.
Open seven days a week; Monday to Friday, 7.00am until 7.00pm, Saturday, 8.00am until 7.00pm and Sunday from 8.00am until 6.00pm, Beanberry Coffee is the perfect destination for a morning coffee, daytime or evening dates or creative and social gatherings.
