small batch coffee roasters, Cornwall
speciality coffee roasting in cornwall
We offer a considered range of coffees throughout the year allowing the opportunity to enjoy new flavours to suit various brewing methods and taste preferences. Roasting in small batches allows us to meet the demands of sampling and quality checks to confirm we are roasting every batch to perfection. Our coffees are single origin with a few blends thrown in - each roasted sensitively and methodically to ensure all senses are in harmony.
We believe coffee is so much more than just a tasting experience.

Timor-Leste holds the unenviable accolade of being one of the few countries in the world to have been both colonised and annexed; colonised by Portugal from 1600s to 1975 and annexed by Indonesia from 1975 to 1999. Having finally gained independence for a second time in 2002, Timor-Leste is now the world’s second youngest nation state and trying hard to find its voice in the geo-political world of the 21st century after centuries of subjugation.
One of the most special features about East-Timorese coffee is that it is all organically grown underneath the imposing Ai-Kakeu (Casuarina) and Ai-Samtuku (Albizia) shade trees that dominate the mountainous coffee growing regions. Only natural fertiliser is used (consisting of chicken manure, cherry skin and soil) to nourish the soil. Due to the country’s lack of development and strong animist beliefs, chemical fertilisers have yet to be introduced into agricultural practices.
small batch & expertly roasted
At Lars & Margo we believe the quality of our speciality coffee is testament to the care with which our farmers nurture their plants at the start of the chain.
Follow this with fine and considered hand roasting at the Lars & Margo roastery; with light to medium roasting profiles, extracting the true qualities of each bean and the result is the makings of a beautiful coffee.
Sourcing from all continents along the coffee belt, green beans are selected not only for origin, flavour, acidity and body but also for fair pay, innovation and progression. Gender equality, health and social well-being within communities, whilst also actively protecting and nurturing landscape and environment, are likewise essential factors.
The Lars & Margo journey, as a family run business, is one of excitement and new introductions and when in Cornwall; our home, one is never far away from someone who is either serving or stocking our deliciously roasted beans.
We meticulously handcraft each batch, artfully roasting and expertly packaging every single bean. Our dedication shines through in every bag, meticulously labelled and sealed with a touch of unwavering passion that is uniquely ours.
