A Little Bit
About Us

What makes us Wooden Hill is our strong commitment to quality, honest coffee produced reliably and conscientiously and delivered with proud and personable service.

At the core of our identity sits our reputable Wooden Hill House blend. A fairtrade, speciality, arabica blend, our House has been with us from the very start: stamping our commitment to quality across Bedfordshire and beyond and fuelling our team at the start of every morning.

It draws from a smooth, traditional, nutty Brazil; a Honduras that lends a sweet caramel and bodied chocolate; and a Costa Rican that brings a vibrancy laced with notes of soft bergamot.

Rooted
in Ethics

To operate as a truly sustainable business, that commitment has to be considered in every facet of the operation. And so we do. Our packaging is all distributed with a view to minimise impact. Our buckets are cleaned and reused, our bags compostable, and our shipping boxes are all repurposed. Trees are right at the heart and soul of the business: our annual planting with the Forest of Marston Vale and the small firs in our front yard reflect the sanctity of the green Bedfordshire countryside that we’ve made our home.

But this commitment expands beyond just the environmental; as beneficiaries of the vast supply chain that sources the global coffee market, we also must operate with a view to a range of social responsibilities as well. Which is why we’ve always ran with Fairtrade certification on our house coffees. It’s our way of guaranteeing the coffee we supply is farmed, processed, and shipped ethically.

Sourcing Direct

As we’ve expanded our Origin Selection, so have we expanded our efforts to source coffee directly from the farms and cooperatives picking and processing the green beans.

As a roastery, we’re always looking to develop new relationships with new coffee farms, independent suppliers, and to further grow our connections with the wider coffee world in a way which brings great coffee to the front lines, all whilst supporting the people who make it all happen.
Keep an eye out for some of our great direct trade coffees: our Ugandan Kalingwe, Brazil Sao Lucas, Rwanda Lake Kivu; the list is ever expanding.
