House Red is an everyday filter coffee from the Izuba washing station in Burundi's Kayanza province. It is a washed coffee that is round and sweet with notes of vanilla, cola, and juniper. This classic and comforting coffee is designed as a crowd-pleasing batch brew suitable for all-day drinking.
Tom Prestwich founded Red Bank Coffee Roasters in Coniston, in the Lake District, in early 2015. Tom was a London lawyer who left the profession in 2007 after a cup of single origin Kenyan Ngunguru peaberry at Flat White in Soho changed his trajectory. The roastery started on a 6kg Giesen, with Tom hand logging every profile on graph paper, and has since moved to energy efficient Loring equipment. Two percent of revenue goes to charitable and environmental causes, currently focused on rewilding projects, Growing Well (a local organic farm and mental health charity), and Raw Material. Red Bank was also the first roaster in the UK to use fully recyclable packaging made predominantly from post consumer recycled plastic.
