About
Our story
Founder
Bartosz Ciepaj — Q Grader · Cup of Excellence International Judge
After five years as Head of Coffee at Harrods, I'd mastered luxury. But the real challenge? Bringing that same care to brands serving thousands, not dozens. Forest Hill Coffee exists to raise the bar for everyday coffee — proper quality at a fair price for any brand with ambition.
Coffee Centre London
Coffee Centre London is at the heart of what we do. Our training facility runs Specialty Coffee Association and Coffee Quality Institute certified courses — the same expertise that goes into every roast we produce for your brand.
