About Union

Union Hand Roasted Coffee in my mind must be one of the more recognisable specialty coffee roasters around today. Union has been roasting coffee since 2001, when the founders Steven and Jeremy moved from San Fransico to London. Today, Union supplies gourmet coffee to many businesses including coffee shops, restaurants and supermarkets. I've even found them on the shelves of my local convenience store on Roman Road.

Subscriptions and Fair Trade

Along with many other coffee roasters, Union have a subsription service the CoffeeClub where you'll receive their coffee right to your door. Union are also proud to support their suppliers and ensure they pay a fair price under what they call Union Direct Trade.

Coffee Varieties

Union have a large range of roasts and at the time of writing this currently offer 29 different coffees. One of my personal favourites would be their 'Revelation' coffee which is a dark roast ideal for brewing espressos. 'Natural Spirit' being a medium roast is great for a coffee fix at any time of the day.

Union Hand Roasted coffee: Craft Roasting

Union's range gravitates towards warmth and sweetness, anchored by chocolate, caramel, and toffee notes that recur across most offerings. What distinguishes them is a deliberate use of stone fruits, berries, and citrus to brighten these foundations—a balancing act that keeps their coffees approachable rather than heavy. Their palette is broad enough to reward exploration, yet consistent enough in character that you know what to expect: comforting, rounded roasts that lean towards indulgence without excess.
