Speciality Arabica · Mountain Grown

Coffee grown at altitude. Roasted to order.

Four distinct roasts. One obsession with quality.

Altura Roast — Our Story

Our Story

Built on altitude. Defined by craft.

Altura was born from a belief that exceptional coffee starts long before the roaster. It begins at elevation, in the mountain, grown farms where cooler temperatures slow the cherry's development, concentrating sugars and building complexity that no amount of roasting can manufacture.

We source only speciality, grade Arabica, work directly with trusted growers, and roast every bag to order. No sitting in warehouses. No compromising on freshness.

Speciality Grade Only

We source coffee scoring 80+ on the SCA scale — the top tier of the world's harvest.

Roasted to Order

Every bag is roasted fresh when you order. Not before. Not in bulk.

Mountain Grown

High-altitude farms produce slower-developed cherries with greater natural sweetness and complexity.

Altura Roast — Where our coffee comes from

Where It Begins

Altitude is everything.

Speciality Arabica thrives at high altitude above 1,500 metres, where cooler nights and mineral-rich soils slow the ripening process. The result is a coffee with greater depth, clarity, and natural sweetness.

1,500m+ Growing altitude
80+ SCA score minimum
100% Speciality Arabica

Brazil

The backbone of all four Altura roasts. Brazilian Speciality Arabica delivers natural sweetness, a full body, and the low acidity that makes every cup approachable.

El Salvador

High-altitude Salvadoran farms contribute the dark chocolate depth and clean finish found in both Peak and Ascent.

India

Indian Speciality Arabica brings a distinctive earthiness and full body that rounds out the complexity of our Signature and Dark roasts.

Costa Rica

Bright and precise. Costa Rican beans bring the berry clarity and vanilla warmth that define Cruise, our smoothest roast.

Indonesia

Sumatra and beyond. Indonesian Arabica adds rich, syrupy body and a milk chocolate finish that makes Cruise as good in milk as it is black.

What People Are Saying

Freshly roasted. Highly rated.

Really great coffee ☕ The ordering process was seamless from start to finish. Absolutely loved it, excited to try the other flavours once I've finished Peak!

Michelle B. Altura Peak

Ordered Cruise on a recommendation from a friend and honestly wasn't expecting much. Was completely wrong. The berry notes are subtle but they're there, and it works just as well as a flat white as it does black. Already on my second bag.

Sarah M. Altura Cruise

Ascent is exactly what I wanted from a dark roast, bold and intense without tasting burnt. The dark chocolate comes through on every shot. My partner normally doesn't drink espresso and she asked me what it was. Says it all really.

Daniel R. Altura Ascent

Finally a UK coffee brand that actually cares about where the beans come from. Bought the Peak after reading about the sourcing and it backs up everything they say. Clean, balanced, and noticeably fresher than anything I've bought from a supermarket.

Rachel K. Altura Peak

Got the Cruise as a gift and ended up ordering more for myself before I'd even finished it. Great with oat milk, great black, just really well-rounded coffee. Fast delivery too.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the coffee really roasted to order?

Yes, every bag is roasted after you place your order, not pulled from a shelf. We aim to dispatch within 2 business days, so you're getting coffee that's genuinely fresh, not stock that's been sitting around for months.

Do you offer free UK shipping?

Yes, delivery is free on every order across the UK, with no minimum spend. The price you see is the price you pay, with no surprise costs added at checkout.

What's the difference between Cruise, Peak, Ascent and Drift?

Cruise is our smooth, easy-drinking roast with berry and vanilla notes. Peak is our signature medium roast, balanced and versatile. Ascent is our bold dark roast with deep dark chocolate character. Drift is our decaf, made using the Swiss Water Process so it tastes like proper coffee, not an afterthought.

Is Drift decaf actually caffeine-free?

Drift is processed using the Swiss Water Process, a chemical-free method that removes 99.9% of caffeine while preserving flavour. It's not technically 100% caffeine-free, but it's as close as decaf coffee gets, and it still tastes like real coffee.

Can I return my coffee if I change my mind?

We accept returns on unopened, sealed bags within 14 days of delivery. Once a bag's been opened, it can't be returned for hygiene reasons. If your order arrives damaged or wrong, contact us within 48 hours and we'll sort a replacement or refund at no cost to you.
