Dear Green Coffee Roasters

What Dear Green Coffee Roasters does

Dear Green Coffee Roasters, trading as Dear Green Ltd (Scottish company number SC415720), is a specialty-grade coffee roaster founded in Glasgow in 2011 and headquartered at 101 Brook Street, Glasgow G40 3AP. The company roasts specialty-grade beans daily, sourced via direct partnerships with cooperatives and farms in Brazil (Daterra), Mexico (Sakubel), Colombia (ASMUCAFE), Rwanda (KCRS), Uganda (Bukonzo Dream), and others, and sells them as single origins, blends, organic, decaf, and women-producer SKUs in 120g, 250g, and 1kg formats across whole bean, cafetiere, filter, aeropress, stovetop/moka pot, and espresso grind options. Pricing ranges from approximately £6 to £72.50 per SKU with free UK shipping above £30.

The business operates four interlocking revenue streams. Direct-to-consumer commerce runs through its own e-commerce storefront (deargreencoffee.com), supported by monthly email newsletters and a blog. A wholesale B2B channel supplies cafes, offices, and workplaces with bean supply plus equipment, installation, and ongoing servicing, creating recurring commercial accounts. A subscription product line delivers beans on a recurring basis to home consumers, and an experiences and training channel monetizes in-person events such as a £80 Latte Art Class alongside SCA-accredited courses and origin trips. Marketing relies on content (blog, newsletter with a 10% sign-up incentive), organic social, community events, and direct wholesale relationships; the company donates 2% of revenue to social and climate justice causes and holds B Corp, SCA, Good Business Charter, Safe and Local Supplier Approval, and One Percent for the Planet credentials.

Dear Green is an independent, founder-owned private limited company with 1-10 employees and no disclosed institutional funding, suggesting bootstrapped growth since inception. It is registered for operations across the United Kingdom and the European Economic Area, with all public-facing commerce priced in GBP. There is no evidence of mobile applications, public APIs, AI/ML capabilities, acquisitions, or external investment.
