Our story · Carlisle, Cumbria
A Cumbria coffee company built around traceability
A coffee bag should tell you more than a name and a roast level. At Lowe & Leigh, we choose traceable lots, roast in small batches in Carlisle and share the details that help you understand what is in your cup.
Good coffee starts with clear answers.

Traceable coffee, chosen cup by cup
Know more about the beans you brew.
We work with importers and producers focused on responsible sourcing, then assess each coffee as an individual lot. A traceable label gives you useful context: the place, the process and the people behind the beans.
Altitude and processing can shape flavour in very different ways. An Ethiopian coffee may bring floral notes; a Kenyan lot can show a lively, fruit-forward cup; Colombian coffees span a wide range of sweetness and structure. The cup has the final say.
We choose the coffee, not the story on the label.

How we roast and check every batch
Small batches give us room to pay attention to each coffee. We set a roast profile for its character and intended brew, then taste the result before it reaches the shop.
02
Set the roast
Profiles are chosen to suit the coffee and whether it is intended for filter, espresso or both.
03
Taste before listing
We cup the roasted batch and make tasting notes from the cup, not a marketing sheet.
04
Pack for brewing
Beans are rested and packed with brew details. Choose whole bean or ground to order.
