What is Hebridean Coffee?

Hebridean coffee originates from the Hebridean islands located roughly 100 miles off the Western Coast of the Scottish mainland. The Hebrides have one of the least polluted environments in Europe. The fresh westerly winds blowing in from the Atlantic ocean infused with sea salt means that the Hebridean air is both fresh and invigorating. Clean air and a clean environment are perfect conditions for hand roasting small batches of exclusive and delicate coffee beans. Scottish Hebridean gourmet coffee beans are roasted at medium temperatures usually below 200 centigrade to extract their naturally delicious flavours and aromas. Hebridean Coffee is passionate about creating amazing coffee, the environment, and sourcing their natural green coffee beans from small family-owned coffee plantations.
