Clifton Coffee

About This Coffee

This coffee is from the highland area of Arbegona in the Sidama Zone of Ethiopia, grown at about 2200 meters above sea level. Sourced from smallholder farmers in Boreta village, the cherries are float-sorted and dried on African raised beds with regular turning for even drying and controlled fermentation. Drying typically takes 12–15 days before milling and export.

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.
