Clifton Coffee

About This Coffee

This coffee is from the Gayo region of Sumatra, Indonesia, produced by Aulia Kahfi and neighbouring farmers in the Bebesen subregion. This 'Winey' Natural lot is crafted using an anaerobic fermentation process where cherries are carefully fermented for 20-25 days before being washed and dried. The coffee delivers vibrant notes of cola, tropical fruit and iced tea. Aulia Kahfi cultivates coffee on Rakyat Farm and also sources ripe cherry from neighbouring farmers in areas like Lukup Sabun, Pantan Sile, and Ratawali.

Clifton Coffee

James Fisher founded Clifton Coffee in Bristol in 2001, initially servicing espresso machines before Ed Buston joined and expanded the business into wholesale. Several of their earliest multi site customers in Bristol remain clients over two decades later. In 2013, Clifton invested in an in house production roastery and a training facility that was among the first of its kind in the UK. By 2022, it had become Bristol's largest roasted coffee wholesaler, supplying around 850 customers including specialty shops, Michelin starred restaurants, and five star hotels across the UK, EU, and Middle East. Ninety percent of the coffee is bought directly from origin through the company's own sourcing relationships. Clifton achieved B Corporation certification in 2023 and holds SCA Premier Campus status.
