New roaster – Welcome to Balance Coffee

We are delighted to have a new roaster join our coffee subscription platform - Balance Coffee.

At Balance Coffee, founder James Bellis believes “balance is the key to living your best life!”.

After eight years of working in the coffee industry, James took the leap and set up his coffee business during the COVID 19 pandemic. Combining his experience in the industry and his passion for coffee, Balance emerged on the market with a mission to create change and make a positive contribution to people and the planet. And the result? Ethically sourced high-quality, “flawlessly balanced” coffee.

What makes Balance Coffee different

The coffees produced by Balance Coffee suppliers are speciality grade, meaning they are rare and difficult to find in supermarkets. Speciality is the highest grade of coffee found worldwide. Only 3% of coffee worldwide makes the ‘speciality’ grade.

Balance coffee beans are sourced worldwide, ensuring high standards are delivered regarding both flavour and ethical sourcing.

Each coffee goes through a rigorous selection process, roasting and taste-testing to ensure quality and consistency in every cup.

Why are they different?

For every bag of coffee sold, Balance Coffee:

• Helps plant trees every month to offset the harmful effects of C02 on the planet. In 2020 they planted over 200 trees.
• Donates 1% to project waterfall, a coffee charity that helps provide clean water for coffee-growing communities. (Find out how Coffee Hit supports Project Waterfall here.)
• Helps coffee farmers at origin to improve their livelihoods by choosing to source ethical coffee.

At the beginning of 2021, Balance Coffee switched to 100% recyclable packaging to continue operating more sustainably. They have reduced water usage by 33% and recycle everything possible, including recyclable content, boxes and packaging.

Range of flavours in handy taster packs

Balance has a great range of coffee, and for those who are finding it hard to choose or like a bit of variety, why not try the Filter Coffee Taster Pack designed for filter coffee drinkers. It includes 3 x 250g bags of their rare and seasonal filter coffees which are generally fruit-focused, yet each coffee presents individual characteristics which make each bag unique. A perfect choice if you haven’t tasted Balance coffees before or if you’re stuck on what to gift your family or friend for a special occasion.

If Espresso is more your thing and you are still seeking variety, Balance has got that covered too with an Espresso Taster Pack designed for espresso lovers. It includes 3 x 250g bags of three core espresso coffees, consisting of chocolatey notes that pair perfectly with milk drinks such as flat whites and lattes.

Or you can pick your favourite Balance Blend, all available in 250g or 1kg pouches. So if silky notes of chocolate and cranberry take your fancy, Rotate Espresso would be perfect for you. Tasting superb as Espresso yet clean and juicy as filter brew, use it in your lattes, cocktails and more!

You can make your morning coffee more exciting with the Level Up Blend. Punchy and fruity when enjoyed as a black coffee, or you could tame it with a bit of milk. No matter how you brew it, this Colombian and Burundian coffee creates a beautifully harmonious cup every time.

For the more classic blend, Stability delivers consistently delicious brews no matter how you serve them. With smooth milk chocolate, almond, and sweet berries, Stability coffee is the go-to blend every time.

A decaf that packs flavour punch

And for those who prefer a decaf blend, Halcyon Decaf Coffee is a must-try. ‘Halcyon’ meaning calm, peaceful and placid, is exactly what Balance wants you to experience when sipping this speciality decaf coffee in your favourite mug. Halcyon decaf aims to give you the taste of coffee that you love without a racing heart and thoughts. This Brazillian coffee will satisfy your thirst for flavour without keeping you up all night. Silky smooth chocolate notes with golden syrup and pear acidity that works perfectly with or without milk. After trying this, you’ll see decaf coffee in a whole new light.
