Kickback coffee
A Roaster We Trust
Founded by Alex, Kickback Coffee started ten years ago with Alex roasting as a hobby in his kitchen. Today Kickback have a roastery and cafe at The Old Brickworks in Pott Shrigley, Cheshire. Based in the Peak District, Kickback love the outdoors and all things adventure.
As such, they've chosen to team up with City of Trees to help plant trees around Greater Manchester. Their goal is to get every team member at Kickback Coffee to actually go out and plant the trees, shift some soil, get dirty and really become invested in making change for the planet. They're also proud members of 1% for the Planet, meaning 1% of revenue goes to non-profit organisations focused on environmental causes – exactly the kind of hands-on commitment we look for in the independent UK roasters we feature in our specialty coffee subscription boxes.
Kickback Coffee
Costa Rica has the right elevation, temperature and rainfall considered ideal for coffee production. This coffee comes from a farm founded in 2003 as a family project to continue the legacy of coffee farming from generation to generation. Their main purpose in the commercialisation of the coffee is to preserve the attributes and quality that make Tarrazú coffee a unique product with great worldwide recognition. Tarrazú is one of the four best districts surrounding the capital of San José, alongside Tres Ríos, Heredia and Alajuela. The water and soil, rich and deep with a thick layer of volcanic origin, along with the climate, are irreplaceable factors that make the coffee grown in these areas truly remarkable.
We love this roaster because of all the amazing charitable initiatives they support, including 1% for the Planet. This coffee is super fruity and makes for a lovely Chemex filter coffee.
Coffees like this are exactly why RISE Coffee Box exists. Every month, we blind taste 25-30 coffees from independent specialty coffee roasters across the UK – from Peak District names like Kickback Coffee to standout roasters we've discovered along the way – and choose only the very best to feature in our coffee subscription boxes. If you love discovering new specialty coffee, sustainably sourced and roasted by people who genuinely care about where it comes from, a RISE coffee subscription is the easiest way to explore it all from home.
