Union Hand-Roasted is a small, privately-owned company dedicated to the joy of high quality Arabica coffee. We roast our coffee every day in small batches to display the coffee's fullest expression of flavour and aroma.

Established in 2001, Union Hand-Roasted was created by Jeremy Torz and Steven Macatonia who entered into the world of coffee from inspiration by the micro-roastery cafes of San Francisco, California and then from their observations of the difficult predicament of farmers in coffee growing communities. "We were compelled to sound the end to our previous professional careers and launch ourselves into the world of coffee".

These beginnings give Union its fundamental difference which is driven by Jeremy's and Steven's desire to discover high quality coffee and share it with you.

"Union" exemplifies our coffee sourcing philosophy, in terms of the quality of the coffee and the quality of the relationships with the hardworking families who grow it.

We travel to coffee growing communities in remote regions around the world, building relationships and investing in sustainable livelihoods and farming practices. We discover coffees of distinction by engaging directly with coffee farmers and pair their best work with the art and craft of the Roastmaster - Steven

In our London Roastery, each roast is individually tailored by adjustments to the flame to bring out the exemplary qualities of that coffee, yet all are characterised by the unmistakable Union house style; bold intensity, infused with a deep natural sweetness.

Our business is to provide our customers with the best possible experience by sourcing and selecting coffees and by crafting roasts that excite when prepared by a trained and enthused Barista.

We have created Union to be the benchmark of integrity and authenticity, providing the opportunity for sustainable livelihoods for farmers and excellent coffee for consumers. Union is the model that allows each to gain a fuller experience of the complex world of coffee and the appreciation for the environment in which it is produced and enjoyed.
