Kiss the Hippo is London‘s most innovative and sustainable speciality coffee company. They roast organic, planet-friendly coffee at their state-of-the-art roastery in London, then send it out to discerning coffee drinkers across the UK and beyond.
They opened our roastery in 2018, and from day one it’s been a hub of sustainable innovation. Since then, they have won the UK Barista Championships twice which is a humble reflection of our perfectionist ethos. Kiss the Hippo’s ultimate aim is to be regarded as the superior coffee brand of its era.
ETHICALLY-SOURCED COFFEE
Before the coffee even arrives in the UK, Kiss the Hippo already ensures it meets their exacting standards of quality and transparency. That’s why they source ethically, opt for organic certified coffee, and build strong relationships with coffee farmers worldwide – paying at least 50% above the Fair Trade price.
Of course, they still put flavour at the forefront of everything they do. That’s why their coffee experts travel far and wide in search of bold beans and exciting origins, which they bring home and roast with their trademark panache – not to mention their Loring Smart Roaster, the world’s most environmentally-friendly coffee roaster.
Once each coffee is carefully roasted to preserve its individual flavour identity, it’s quality checked by our certified Q Graders, then either sealed in special bags.
