The roastery
Quarlow is three people, one roaster and a café counter in Arch 14 on Mowbray Street. We buy from the same farms each year, roast twice a week, and never sell a bag that is more than a week off the drum.
No warehouse, no shelf life to manage. The coffee in your bag was a green bean on Monday.
Sourced
Samples from farms and washing stations we buy from year after year, tasted blind before a sack is ordered.
Roasted
Tuesday and Thursday on a 12 kg drum, a profile written for each coffee rather than one for all.
Cooled and checked
Out of the drum and into the cooling tray in four minutes, then cupped the same afternoon.
Packed and posted
Weighed, sealed with a one-way valve and posted before the 17:00 collection.

“I have tried four subscriptions and this is the one I kept. The bag lands on Friday, it was roasted on Thursday, and when I asked for a coarser grind they changed it the same day.”
“We switched the office from pods to a 2 kg Cerro Azul order. It works out cheaper per cup and people actually talk about the coffee now.”
Every plan is 15% under the shop price, ships free and can be paused from any email.
