Northern Irish coffee specialist adds new premium range

Pure Roast Coffee, the Northern Ireland premium coffee roaster, has added a range of single-estate coffees especially for clients in Britain.

The company is a major supplier of single estate coffee beans, ground coffee and easy serve pods to hotels, restaurants, cafes and machine manufacturers throughout Great Britain. Ninety-eight percent of the roaster's business is with foodservice clients in Britain.

Based at Lisburn in county Antrim and with a distribution centre in Bolton, Pure Roast Coffee showcased its commitment to high-end by winning a coveted three-gold-stars in this year's Great Taste Award for an Ethiopian Duromina Heirloom variety. The company has won almost 20 Great Taste Awards.

The roaster has just added a range of specialist coffees, including two prized organics - a Washed Ethiopian Duromina and a Guatemalan Dinamica as well as a Costa Rican Geisha and a Washed Ethiopian Nano Challa, clients seeking to offer customers different flavours.

Martin Symington, Pure Roast Coffee's managing director, explains: "The new single estate coffees are a response to the growing demand from our existing foodservice customers for premium products with distinctively different flavours.

"We've used our extensive network of growers to come up with some exceptional coffees, a great example of our ability to response quickly and effectively to requests from customers."
