Company mission

To make every cup of coffee exceptional.

Our take

Origin Coffee stands out from the many artisan coffeemakers on the market with a dedication to progressive coffee culture that predates many of the high-street vendors. Dating back to 2005, the company started out working with Fairtrade, Organic, and Rainforest Alliances to source its beans. To this day, the seasonal collections developed in those early years are still going strong.

Origin achieved B Corporation status in 2020. It has been using this as a starting point to expand its services to food menus and educate the public about Fairtrade and the sourcing of sustainable ingredients. Having spread out from its place of origin of Portleven and opened several major locations in London, in 2023 it became Hoxton's (a boutique hotel chain) exclusive coffee supplier, indicating a growing international presence.
