Batch 214 · roasted Tue 20 Oct · Kendal

Roasted on Tuesday. In your cup by Thursday.

Northfold is a two-person roastery in an old wool store in Kendal. We roast twelve kilos at a time, rest it for a day, and post it on Wednesday — so it reaches you right as it opens up.

How a bag is made

Why Tuesday?

Coffee is at its most generous between a few days and a few weeks after roasting. So we built the whole week around getting it to you inside that window — no warehouse, no shelf time, no guessing.

    Sacks are weighed and moisture-checked. We plan the week’s batches around what’s tasting best on the cupping table.

  2. Hot water blooming fresh coffee grounds in a paper filter

    Roast day

    Twelve kilos at a time on a 15 kg drum roaster. Every batch is logged, and every batch is cupped before it’s bagged.

  3. An espresso shot pouring into a small glass

    Rest, bag, post

    A full day of rest lets the coffee settle. Then it’s bagged by hand, sealed, and on the 2pm collection.

  4. Milk being poured into a flat white, forming a pattern

    Letterbox-sized, tracked, and at its best for the next four weeks. Brew notes are printed on the back of every bag.

Come and taste it where it’s made.
