Recent Beans is a specialty coffee roaster, retailer, wholesaler, and ecommerce business founded in 2020 in Castleford, with a flagship roastery opening in Wakefield in 2023. Their mission is to make exceptional coffee accessible to everyone by focusing on quality, freshness, and sustainability.
They believe coffee is a fresh product that should be enjoyed at its peak. That’s why they roast daily in small batches, ensuring every cup captures the magic of freshly roasted coffee. This approach sets Recent Beans apart, as they prioritise freshness and quality over convenience.
Sustainability is at the heart of what they do. They actively reduce their environmental impact by minimizing single-use packaging and using electric vehicles for local deliveries. Their green coffee is sourced through trusted suppliers who exceed farming standards, ensuring safe working conditions, healthcare, education, and housing for coffee farmers and their communities.
At Recent Beans, they are proud to be raising the standard for coffee while fostering a more ethical and sustainable industry. Whether you’re visiting the Castleford or Wakefield locations, you’ll find exceptional coffee crafted with care for both people and the planet.
