- Roast 6 | Taylors of Harrogate’s darkest roast, Hot Lava Java is powerful and smoky
Taylors of Harrogate have been around since 1886.
They started off as a small family-run company and they remain a family-run company to this day but they are not small anymore!
They have grown significantly during that time to become one of the best-known coffee brands in the UK and there is a very good reason for that – they produce great coffee.
They also care deeply about the way in which their coffee is produced ensuring that everything they buy is UTZ (Universal Trade Zone) certified.
This ensures that all of the coffee beans they buy are sustainable and the farms have to abide by a strict set of rules including things like soil fertility management, gender equality, access to education for all children and no child labour.
The fact that they care so much not just about the quality of the coffee but the entire end to end process makes it easy to buy coffee from them knowing that they are a trustworthy and credible company that still have their headquarters where it all began in Harrogate Yorkshire.
They have a range of 14 different blends of ground coffee which will almost certainly cater for all tastes
