Honest. Driven. Committed. For twenty years, Origin has steered the UK’s speciality coffee scene with integrity and quality at the heart of every decision. Operating since 2004, today, as one of the longest-standing speciality coffee roasters on UK shores (and winner of Europe’s Best Speciality Coffee Roaster 2023), Origin remains true to one central ethos: to source exceptional coffee through a sustainable, triple bottom line approach. This means working, wherever possible, directly with coffee producers around the world, operating a direct trade model, led by previous World Cup Taster champion and Q-grader, Freda Yuan, who develops successful long-term partnerships, championing, supporting, and celebrating the terroir, the people, and the future of mindful speciality coffee.
Roasting on lower emission Loring Smart Roasts, their coffee is supplied to some of the leading lights of UK hospitality, from award-winning speciality coffee shops to prestigious hotel groups. With a transparent approach to their mission and values, the business – which is headquartered in Porthleven, with a growing portfolio of locations that includes London and Bristol – understands that growth comes with the chance to talk about challenges, and learn from them.
