Carrow Coffee Roasters is a small and expanding business that is committed to exceptional coffee. We roast a range of ‘single-origin specialty coffees’, meaning 100% Arabica beans of the highest quality that come from a single farm or small area. Our coffees vary from season to season and are carefully sourced from small-scale producers in Africa and Latin America. As well as this direct link, we hunt out coffees that have been grown without artificial fertilizers and pesticides whenever possible. We favour a light-to-medium roast that allows a bean’s intrinsic flavour to shine through. Our roastery is located on a family farm in Beltra, Co. Sligo.
