Introducing

ART & INDUSTRY

Founded by arts graduates, rooted in creativity and shaped by deep industry experience, the arts run through everything we do, from how we package our coffee to creative sensory experiences, artist commissions and industry collaborations.

We work with artists, designers, musicians and writers on commissions, projects and partnerships, and through Freak & Unique, artworks are released alongside our coffees, making art accessible while forming a direct line of support into artists’ practices. Supporting the arts through industry, one bag at a time.

IN THE COMMUNITY

We've run several projects in our immediate community, from workshops for children through to support for new parents. We're just writing up everything about them - watch this space and we'll release images and info very soon!

St Leonards-on-Sea

231 LONDON ROAD

As part of our St Leonards-on-Sea space, we’ve funded an artist-run gallery on the top floor; supporting artists through free exhibition space and printed materials produced in our Riso studio.

KULHAR PROJECT

Taking its inspiration from the traditional Indian kulhar, The Kulhar Project reconsiders the cup as both object and experience, rooted in material, ritual and use. Developed as part of our 2021 Art + Industry programme, it takes the form of a travelling, interactive installation exploring sustainability through a shared, hands-on approach. First launched at the London Coffee Festival, it brings people together through the act of making and drinking.

FREAK & UNIQUE

In the ever-evolving landscape of coffee culture, where innovation meets tradition, there’s a space for coffees that refuse to sit quietly within the expected.

Freak & Unique is our platform for those coffees, lots that push processing, flavour and perception into new territory. We pair the extraordinary with the extraordinary, commissioning artists to create limited edition works alongside each release. Each commission is supported through the project, with a percentage of sales feeding back into a grant for the artist to realise a work of their choosing.
