Danelaw Coffee
A Roaster We Trust
Danelaw Coffee has a majorly impressive CV when it comes to coffee. Founder David is a two-time UK Coffee in Good Spirits Champion, a Q Grader (licensed professional coffee taster), and a frequent judge of World Barista Championships. He's been working in coffee for over 16 years, and his passion and enthusiasm is off the charts.
The name Danelaw links back to the area David grew up in (Yorkshire and Lincolnshire), and is the 9th century name for this part of the world. It represents his connection to the farmers and local produce in this area, which David is so proud of. That level of credentialed expertise paired with genuine local pride is exactly what we look for in the independent UK roasters we feature in our specialty coffee subscription boxes.
Rosely Hernandez
This coffee comes from a co-op of 86 women in Western Honduras, bordering Guatemala and El Salvador. David met farmer Rosely in 2018, who told him it was her "dream come true" to have this coffee launched by Danelaw. Her farm is a micro-lot in this cooperative, run day-to-day by her and her husband. It's a robust coffee that can be drunk as an espresso with milk, or as a filter.
One of our subscribers said this was the best coffee they had tried, after subscribing for 3 years. Say no more.
