Our story
At Dear Green we roast coffee! We train and educate. We grind, brew and share. We pursue excellence in coffee. We ensure every coffee we source meets our ethical policies, and we roast to maximise the sensory tasting experience. Every bean is well-considered, well-sourced and only sold if it meets our QC tolerances. We're obsessed! We LOVE coffee!
Established in 2011, Dear Green Coffee Roasters is a coffee roaster and supplier of exclusively 'speciality' grade coffee beans.
Taking our name from our home city of Glasgow, known as ‘The Dear Green Place.'
We pride ourselves in sourcing and roasting only the highest quality of speciality grade coffee, and carry an ethical and social conscience in every element of our output.
Our process
Everything we do is instinctive. We recycle, we reuse, we compost, we minimise waste, we reduce packaging, we always have! We will continue to find the best environmental solution in all we do, in fact we only went and organised the worlds first single use cup free coffee festival.
In 2020 we proudly achieved B Corp Certification following an assessment of our ethical statements and business practices and our commitment to putting people and the planet before profit. Thanks to the B Corp community we are now part of the B Corp Climate Collective, committing to the Race to Zero to address the climate emergency and to meet and (exceed) the Paris Agreement target to achieve a zero-carbon economy.
You'll find all the buzz words here! Ethical. Sustainable. Traceable. Speciality. We can definitely tick all of these boxes and more. But is this quantifiable? How can we justify our sourcing? Well, we can't, nobody can! But we try our hardest to be as fully informed and educated as we possibly can be and can pass this knowledge on along the supply chain with complete transparency. Not only are we committed to always having direct trade links and to personally visiting the coffee origins to form and maintain relationships with importers, exporters and producers, we also look after the other side of our supply chain by being SALSA accredited ensuring a 'food safe' and fully traceable product with the audits and record-keeping to justify the hashtags!
