ABOUT
Red Step Roasters is Oxford’s only small-batch speciality coffee roastery, dedicated to bringing flavour and fairness together in every cup. Hand-roasting premium Arabica beans in Horspath, the family-run roastery works directly with farmers who champion sustainable and community-led practices. With a focus on transparency, Red Step sources coffees that support fair wages and agroecological farming, before roasting them in small batches to highlight bold, complex flavours. Their commitment to sustainability extends from compostable packaging to carbon-neutral deliveries across Oxfordshire. From single-origin micro-lots to flexible coffee subscriptions, Red Step Roasters offers coffee lovers a chance to enjoy distinctive brews while backing independent growers worldwide. Rooted in Oxford and connected globally, the roastery’s mission is simple: every cup should taste good and do good.
I love Red Step because it brings together everything I care about: people, flavour, and fairness. There’s something magical about roasting in small batches, relying on sight, smell, and sound to bring out the best in each bean. Every bag we share connects our Oxford community with growers who pour their lives into coffee. It’s great to welcome the morning with a good coffee, knowing that each cup really does support sustainable farming, fair pay, and a greener future.
