Introducing: The Ground Crew

In our experience, it’s hard to create great coffee without great people. Producing our coffee is a craft from harvesting, processing and shipping right down to the barista who pours your latte, our people care about great tasting coffee. Groundhouse baristas complete our national barista academy program to ensure they respect the bean and harvest its flavours to the full, producing the finest extracted espresso to blend beautifully aromatic, delicious drinks.
Ethical and sustainable as a priority

Groundhouse coffee is sourced from sustainably managed plantations, including both Rainforest Alliance and Fairtrade certified coffees. We also work closely with selected plantations and support key development programs to improve both the welfare and coffee growing within these communities including with our Giveback programme.

Our Coffee: Blend 7

We have two distinctive in-house blends: Blend 7 and Blend 3. We’re proud that our coffee is sustainably grown and ethically sourced and you can taste the difference in every cup.

Tasting Notes

Exceptionally aromatic, with hints of rich chocolate, deep soft caramel and sweet fruity undertones. Slowly roasted, the beans release a pungent sweetness and full-bodied flavour that lends itself beautifully to espressos or when blended with milk.

Origins

An Arabica blend from sustainable smallholdings in Central & South America. Blend 7 is sourced seasonally, which ensures flavour consistency at all times of the year. It is grown on Fairtrade and Rainforest Alliance certified farming co-operatives including CAPUCAS in Honduras and Sol y Café in Peru.

Our Coffee: Blend 3

Tasting Notes

Punchy and full-bodied, with dark chocolate and dried apricot notes. Blend 3 is ideal for a fragrant and flavoursome cappuccino or latte. A unique blend of both Arabica and Robusta beans gives Blend 3 its distinctively bold taste profile.

Origins

Dependent on the season Blend 3 uses Fairtrade coffee beans grown by small holder co-operatives in Brazil, Vietnam and Central America such as SOPPEXCCA, our Nicaraguan partners. These Arabica elements are then rounded off by a Fairtrade-sourced Robusta, a crucial addition to our unique blend

Giveback Programme

In addition to our ethical accreditations we also have our Give Back Programme which makes a real difference to the communities we work in. Working with the Capucas (COCAFCAL) Co-operative, from where we source some of our coffee beans for Groundhouse Blend 7, we pay into a revolving fund that helps improve the living standards for the poorest growers.
