About

We are speciality coffee roasters based in the Shropshire Hills, near Shrewsbury and Birmingham. We combine expertise with passion to source, roast and supply unique coffees from small holds around the world.

We use analogue knowledge, based on over 20 years of speciality roasting experience, to sample and develop the roast for our coffees in response to their innate flavours and aromas. We only stock a small and carefully selected range of responsibly sourced coffees, taking time to discover and roast the best we can find.
We have created a selection of expertly fused espresso blends – ranging from the sweet and jammy, to the 'made for milk' and the pure organic.

A core part of our approach is supporting the arts through industry. We work with a variety of artists and designers – allocating a large portion of our profits to art and design initiatives. Our collaborations include working with public galleries, along with art and design entities, to create spaces that invite social and cultural dialogue, coupled with great coffee.

Dog and Hat

As soon as Hundred House came to our attention we just had to go and speak with them.  Anabelle & Matt's roastery is situated in the gorgeous rural countryside near Ludlow in Shropshire and was a real delight to visit.  From the huge doggie welcome at the gate, to the baby goats in the neighbouring field it's a truly inspiring place to work.  Once inside, Matt's knowledge of roasting and all things coffee (he was head roaster at Union for 5 years) coupled with Anabelle's passion for art and design really shone through.  This is definitely one of the roasters to watch out for in the coming years.
