An amazing range of coffee

From the dry dusty plains of Ethiopia to the lofty heights of the Colombian Andes, we select and roast the best coffee.

A coffee bean is like a time capsule, once roasted it starts to deteriorate; its vital and delicate, volatile oils  begin to evaporate. This is why a truly delicious cup of coffee depends on the freshest roasted beans. We at Wilkinson's understand the coffee bean and roast coffee daily on one of our three roasters, depending on demand.  Wilkinson's of Norwich never stockpiles roasted coffee beans. We make it our mission to ensure what you receive is always fresh!

The varied characteristics of the coffee bean are a direct result of the geopgrphical conditions under which the coffee plants are grown; soil, altitude and climate all play an important part in the flavour of the coffee bean.  For example the rich volcanic soil of the Javan islands imparts an earthyness to the coffee bean which translates nicely to the cup of brewed coffee. While the humid conditions of India  serve to bring a spicy taste to the high quality beans grown in and around the Mysore region.  Wilkinson's urges you to take a world tour of our fine cofees for a truly unforgettable experience.

There are two main types of coffee beans - Arabica and Robusta. Aribica coffee beans are considered the very best .  Their superior flavour and aroma dictate that Wilkinson's present only this type of coffee bean in all of our single orgin coffees.   Robusta coffee beans are used to a lesser extent, and usually only in coffee blends. The caffeine rich and earthly flavour adds a wonderful kick to the higher roast coffees like espresso.
