Noni's Coffee Roasters

Noni's Coffee Roasters is based in Stroud, Gloucestershire, and was founded by Noni after a career that took her from a London roastery to farm visits in Peru, Ethiopia and Kenya. The business focuses explicitly on small-scale farmers and is built around long-term sourcing relationships, selecting coffees partly on the basis of the farms' environmental and community impact, including carbon-neutral operations and projects that reinvest in farming communities.

Noni uses a Mexico Mountain Water process for her decaf, which is a chemical-free water-based decaffeination method worth noting for those who care about process. The roastery has over 270 customer reviews, with particularly strong repeat engagement on their espresso range.

They sell direct to consumers online with subscriptions, and the brand has a deliberately personal, small-batch identity rooted in its founder's relationships at origin.
