MEET THE ROASTER

Red Bank

About Red Bank

Kendal

Red Bank Coffee Roasters was founded by myself, Tom Prestwich, in early 2015. I fell in love with coffee during my time working as a lawyer in London. In 2007 a cup of single-origin Kenyan Ngunguru peaberry from the iconic Flat White coffee shop in Soho revolutionised my perception of coffee. A million miles from the bitter beverage I was used to that required a hefty dose of sugar to make it remotely palatable, this was naturally sweet and unbelievably fruity. This moment sparked an interest that would eventually see me quit my job, move to the Lake District and set up my own roastery.

Our Goal

We select coffees that are exemplars of their type from a network of producers and importers that we know and trust.

We believe that only by visiting the producers that we work with are we truly able to understand the challenges that they face, and the conditions that they work in. By visiting year-on-year, we are able to be better partners, and more informed buyers.

Process

Our commitment to quality extends to our roastery operation.

We roast all of our coffees on our Loring roasters. Aside from being amongst the most energy efficient, and clean-burning roasters on the market, Loring roasters result in the cleanest and most expressive coffees that we have tasted. We were also the first roaster in the UK to use fully-recyclable packaging made predominantly from post-consumer recycled plastic, helping us to ensure that we keep our carbon footprint to a minimum.

Coffee Sourcing Program

Our coffee sourcing programme is focussed on quality, provenance and relationships.

At Red Bank it is our goal to help as many people as possible experience a similar moment and to raise their expectations of coffee. Preparation is key to making a great cup of coffee - but the best baristas in the world can't make a great cup unless they are using great beans. We source the best tasting, seasonal, ethically-produced, speciality-grade arabica coffee we can find and roast to retain the unique personality of each bean. We buy and roast our coffee in small-batches to ensure it is always fresh, and our line up of single-origin coffee changes regularly. This allows us to showcase the variety of the humble coffee bean - from the complex, fruity flavours characteristic of coffees from East Africa to the full-bodied richness of those from South and Central America.
