Meletius Ltd

Meletius is a speciality coffee roaster based in the Wembley area of London, roasting around 12,000kg of coffee per year. The business has a notable charity dimension: it supports the Cafe Femenino Foundation, whose suppliers provide direct compensation and resources to women coffee farmers, and LGK in the Community, a UK charity that uses food as a vehicle for social good.

The business reports having contributed £45k to charity partners and educated over 250 people in coffee. The roastery offers tasting sessions alongside its retail and wholesale operation, and supplies commercial espresso machines for offices and professional venues.

Coffees span a wide range of origins including El Salvador, Brazil, Costa Rica, Colombia, Guatemala and Ethiopia, with organic options in the range. The sourcing approach includes partners who work with the Cafe Femenino Foundation, which adds some specificity to the ethical sourcing claims.
