About Pilgrims Coffee Roasters

Pilgrims coffee roasters are based on Holy Island, Northumberland. Originally set up in a small yurt in the garden, Andrew began roasting coffee in Northumberland in 2014. Simply aimed to supply the cafe with delicious, high quality and sustainably sourced coffee. In 2018 Pilgrims Coffee needed a larger space to keep up with their expanding business, so they re-purposed an old shipping container and created the current home of the Roastery. Visit Pilgrim’s Online Shop Andrew still heads up operations at the roastery and ensures all of the beans are of the highest quality arabica coffee beans. Their state-of-the-art roaster ensures they bring out the distinctive characteristics of the beans and produce top quality coffee, every time. As an entire business, they believe it is extremely important and take great pride in sourcing coffee beans from Fair trade and Rainforest Alliance Certified farms. They always ensure that everyone that handles their coffee beans is well rewarded for their hard work – certification or not! A fantastic roastery with fantastic morals that transcend all the way from the country the green coffee is sourced, through to the eco-friendly bags they sell the roasted coffee in.

Coffee Origin

The Indonesia coffee from Pilgrims coffee roasters originates from the Bondowoso region of Indonesia.

Ijen, East Java Farm is located in Bondowoso, Sukasari Village, Indonesia. The farm covers 68ha and ranges in elevation from 1200 to 1750 masl. The farm is owned and operated by Pak Andi, a farmer who has been cultivating coffee since his childhood. The farm is home to several cultivars, including Komasti, Andungsari, Bourbon, Kartika, and Abysinia. The harvest season runs from April to September, and the coffee is grown using organic fertilizers and shade trees.Pak Andi learned about coffee cultivation and processing from his parents.

In the past, most of the coffee fields in the region were planted with Robusta coffee. However, Arabica coffee has become more popular over the years, and in 2000, Pak Andi decided to learn about Arabica coffee cultivation. By 2008, he was already producing commercial Arabica and learning about specialty coffee.Since then, Pak Andi and other farmers in the region have received training on proper cultivation procedures and the correct picking of coffee cherries to generate high profits and good quality.
