Why we’re buying Baristocracy Coffee from now on

Coffee lovers, this one is for you. We’re here to spill the beans on how switching to speciality beans will make you taste coffee like you’ve never tasted coffee before.

We’re so easily set in our ways and, despite our best efforts, still find ourselves grabbing a quick coffee from one of the big chains or opting for instant simply for speed.

But there’s a whole world of coffee that we’re missing out on if we only took a little time to discover it. Which is why, as coffee lovers ourselves, North Shields’ speciality coffee roasters, Baristocracy Coffee, caught our attention.

Founded by Alex Forsyth and Kate Hudson, Baristocracy brings Australian speciality coffee expertise to the heart of the North East, and let me tell you, it’s a game-changer.

HELP TO SAVE OUR PLANET

At Baristocracy Coffee, they work directly with green coffee importers who have established connections to growers and processing stations. It’s a top priority for them that growers of exceptional coffee are paid properly for their work.

They offer a range of coffees, all speciality-grade Arabica, sourced from countries like Ethiopia, Nicaragua and Papua New Guinea. What’s exciting is they bring single-origin, decaffeinated and blend options, allowing you to explore a spectrum of flavours.

FLAVOURSOME COFFEE FOR EVERY PALATE

Speaking of flavours, whether you prefer your coffee black or with milk, Baristocracy has something for everyone. Single origins are perfect for savouring black, letting you experience the unique flavours of each growing region. On the other hand, blends offer layers of flavour that stand up to the richness of milk. There’s no rules though, check out the flavour notes on their website or if you’re not sure where to start pop into the roastery or contact them on socials.

SUPPORT LOCAL AND GLOBAL COMMUNITIES

By buying from local roasteries like Baristocracy, we support small businesses that, in turn, support fellow small businesses worldwide. Plus, Baristocracy ensures that growers are paid fairly for their crops by working with transparent, ethical importers. Supporting growers to invest in sustainable agriculture practices is crucial to the longevity of the speciality coffee industry.

One impressive aspect is their support for women in coffee farming. For instance, their Colombian coffee is grown exclusively by women. They will also soon be donating a percentage of sales to a young farmers initiative in Rwanda and are purchasing goats to help fertilise a women’s cooperative coffee farm.
