Our story

From a railway arch in Ouseburn to your kitchen

We started Meridian with a second-hand roaster, a battered kettle and a stubborn belief that great coffee should taste of somewhere. Fourteen years on, we still roast every batch by hand under the same railway arch.

  • SCA-certified roasters — every profile dialled in on the cupping table before it ever ships.
  • Traceable to the farm — we visit our producers and publish what we pay for every lot.
  • Powered by 100% renewables — roastery, café and delivery fleet included.

★★★★★
"The Guji is the best coffee I've had outside of a café — and it lands the day after it's roasted. I've cancelled my old subscription for good."
— Hannah R., Jesmond
★★★★★
"We switched our whole office to the Roastery box. The team's morale genuinely went up. The equipment loan sealed it."
— Marcus T., office manager
★★★★★
"Proper coffee with a conscience. Knowing what they pay farmers, and that the bag composts, makes the morning cup taste even better."
— Priya S., Ouseburn
