I have always been passionate about coffee and in 2014 I set about opening a local coffee roastery. Bean Smitten is the result of many years of planning and focuses on the specialty coffee market.Experience gained in my former career in business and finance has proven highly beneficial in allowing me to build a process driven business with great systems! It was a steep learning curve but worth it.I’m loving the life of roasting and blending great coffees, staying firmly on the path of transforming people’s coffee experience. My aim is to widen the appeal of specialty coffee among everyday consumers, introducing them to better coffee one sip at a time!Bean Smitten are a local coffee supplier across the Weald of Kent and East Sussex. Our trade customers are typically coffee shops, farm shops and delis. Consumers purchase coffee for their home brews through the website and many subscribe to weekly or monthly deliveries!I'm currently exploring similarities between #coffee and #wine through attainment of a WSET Level 3 Award in Wine and more recently a BIIAB Level 2 Award for Personal (alcohol) Licence Holders.Fancy a chat over a coffee or a glass of wine?
