Origin Coffee
Pioneering Cornwall-based roaster, one of the UK's earliest specialty names.
Origin Coffee was founded in Cornwall in 2004 by Tom Sobey, making it one of the United Kingdom's earliest specialty roasters, well ahead of London's third-wave boom. From its far-southwest base, Origin built a national reputation for sustainability, long-term sourcing relationships, and consistent quality, later expanding with London cafés. Its longevity and ethical focus give it a foundational place in British specialty coffee history.
