Limited Edition: Pacamara, Santa Ana, El Salvador

Our latest release comes from Cafenor, a carbon-neutral mill in northern El Salvador run by the Valiente family, whose roots in coffee trace back to 1890. Led by Alejandro and his daughters, Cafenor supports over 60 nearby smallholders with sustainable processing, training, and shared resources.

This lot is a blend of Pacamara—an unusually large bean and characterful varietal—grown on small farms and carefully selected for flavour. Dried on raised beds and powered entirely by solar and geothermal energy, this is coffee with real integrity.

The Best Espresso Martini Recipe – Tried, Tested and Perfected

For years, my best friend Simon and I have been on a mission: to find the ultimate espresso martini recipe. We think we’ve finally cracked it. This version is smooth, balanced, and gives that perfect creamy top every time.

Alcohol-Free Tiramisu with Hazelnut Syrup – My Take on a Classic

Over the years, I’ve developed a bit of a sweet tooth, and tiramisu has become my go-to when the craving hits. I’ve tested and tweaked several recipes to come up with this version – rich, indulgent, and just sweet enough without being overpowering.

How We Roast Our Coffee

Every step in our roasting process is considered. From how we handle the green beans to how we cool, rest and pack each order, we make decisions that protect flavour, ensure consistency, and reduce waste. The result is a cup of coffee that speaks for itself.

Eco-Conscious Coffee

Sustainability is not a checkbox for us. It is an ongoing journey. We are always looking for ways to do things better, whether that means sourcing more local materials, working with greener suppliers, or supporting farming communities who share our values.

From Syrups to Sustainability: The Story Behind Old Chapel Coffee

Old Chapel Coffee is not about trends or gimmicks. It is about doing things well, with care and consideration. It is about celebrating quality and freshness, and connecting people with something real.

Beans

Launching Our New Costa Rican Coffee

We’re excited to introduce our latest single origin release: a beautifully balanced, small-batch coffee from San Rafael, Tarrazú, Costa Rica. Known for its clean profile, creamy body and notes of plum and dark chocolate, this coffee captures everything we love about the region. It is refined, expressive, and incredibly drinkable.

Single Origin vs. Blend: What’s the Difference, and Which Should You Choose?

If you’ve ever browsed a bag of coffee and spotted the words single origin or blend, you might have wondered—what’s the difference? And more importantly, which one is better?

Fair Trade has done a huge amount of good in the world—but we think it doesn’t always go far enough for the smallholders growing truly exceptional coffee. That’s where direct trade comes in. We work with importers who have deep, ongoing relationships with farming communities. They’re on the ground, helping build better practices, supporting local development, and ensuring farmers are paid fairly—often well above Fair Trade minimums. It’s a hands-on, people-first approach that’s helping communities thrive.
We work with importers who partner closely with farmers—not just to buy coffee, but to help build better futures. That means sharing knowledge, supporting sustainable farming, and managing vital resources like water responsibly. Many of them also work with charities and local organisations to strengthen family farms, improve quality of life, and encourage environmentally sound practices. Together, we support coffee that’s not just better for your cup—but better for the people growing it.
Yes, always. We only use 100% Arabica beans, grown at higher altitudes for a reason—they produce more complex, delicate flavours. Arabica is harder to grow and more labour-intensive to harvest, but it’s worth it. No robusta, no shortcuts. Just beautifully grown coffee from producers who care as much as we do about flavour and quality.
Because big flavour often comes from small farms. We choose to work with independent growers and community-based projects, not large industrial operations. These producers are passionate, often working in remote areas where farming supports education, healthcare, and environmental sustainability. We roast their beans in small batches to keep the coffee fresh and the quality high—because when coffee is made with care, it shows in every sip.

Reviews from our customers…

I met Jason at a networking event and as I am a coffee lover as soon as I discovered what his business was I placed an order.

I was really impressed with his decaf because of the washing process the beans go through over a chemical process.

What really stop out to me however was Jason's knowledge and passion.
We use The Old Chapel Coffee Company in our Pub, The Haywain, Little Bromley. Our customers love the taste, and we love the locality of the supplier, along with their fast delivery and great customer service. Five stars all the way!!!
Relatively new company. Responsibly sourced coffee from a range of countries. Their passion for great tasting coffee which is sustainable and ethical is clear, although website doesn't currently show all the projects that are supported where the beans are grown - you have to ask the owner for those but hopefully the website will reflect that soon.
What really stop out to me however was Jason's knowledge and passion.

He spent time with me, as well as lots of emails back and forth, on how to make the perfect cup of coffee from bean to water ration, to filtering times and adding a tiny pinch of salt.

Thank you Jason for providing me not only with great coffee but the expertise needed to create the perfect cup of coffee.
Skilled coffee roaster showcasing a hand-picked range of ethically-sourced coffees, each one roasted to perfection. Old Chapel Coffee is always a safe choice and always astonishingly good value for money. The Ethiopian Limu and Italian espresso blend both shine out!
We wanted to use a local company to supply coffee for our community pub and found The Old Chapel Coffee Company Ltd. Jason was happy to spend time with us to find the perfect blend that wasn't too dissimilar to our current mass-produced one, but offered a richer and more rounded flavour. The ethos of The Old Chapel Coffee Company also matched our own with a strong emphasis on ethics, community and the environment.
I’m a huge fan of the old chapel coffee company.
I’ve tried many roasters but Jasons coffee keeps me coming back for more.
Latin blend for espresso and sky blue for cafetière are my personal favourites.
Great coffee from a local business that cares.The office is happier with good coffee and the boss works hard. So only ever buy coffee makes the boss and the staff happy!
Great coffee and great service.
I switched to decaf over 2 years ago, and came across this coffee at a local pub. I searched the company out and contacted to order. The company were very helpful, and the order arrived very promptly and I am enjoying this decaf coffee very much.
Ordered coffee and it arrived the next day and such great communications on the order. Post order I have spoken with the business multiple times about how to get the best out of my coffee and also future things to try.

This business is exactly what local business should be and also really care about their product and customers. I look forward to a long and fruitful customer relationship with them
Ordered a bag of coffee last week! Jason was excellent with customer service and helped out massively. Delivery was quick and easy!

Really enjoyed the Yirgacheffe single origin I bought, arrived well packaged and with helpful taste guides and flavour notes on the bag. Would highly recommend buying your coffee from here!
ordered some coffee online which arrived promptly and had been roasted within a few days. Tasted great too.
