Cast Iron Roaster
A Roaster We Trust
Cast Iron Coffee Roasters has been at the forefront of the Sussex specialty coffee scene since 2014. Cast Iron's goal is to make high-end specialty coffees accessible to everyone. They do this by enhancing sweetness in the roasts and showcasing a wide range of origins, processing methods and flavour profiles. The community that surrounds coffee shops has not only been the main focus of their UK barista championship entries, but is the core focus of the business as a whole.
That commitment to making great coffee genuinely accessible, without dumbing down the craft, is exactly what we look for in the independent UK roasters we feature in our specialty coffee subscription boxes. Cast Iron joins a growing list of roasters we're proud to champion through RISE.
Passiflora
Our featured coffee, Passiflora, is a washed coffee from Planadas, south of a large town called Tolima that has traditionally struggled with drugs and poverty. However, in the last few years 35 farming families have banded together to build on a culture of coffee growing curiosity, and to repurpose their incredibly rich ecological heritage. They are now a cooperative producing organic specialty coffee that they can be proud of.
This super juicy Colombian coffee was a best seller on our online coffee shop throughout 2022, and is roasted by one of the best roasters in the country – Dom! Give it a try.
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 Sussex favourites like Cast Iron Coffee to standout names 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.
