Lonton Coffee Company

the filter coffee here is the reason to make the detour out to limekilns farm. lonton sits in the teesdale countryside near barnard castle, which means you're probably driving, and that's fine because what you get at the end of that drive is a roaster taking the sourcing and processing side of things seriously, not just pulling shots and moving on. the single origin offering changes, so don't get too attached to whatever's on right now. it's a working roastery first, which shapes the whole feel of the place. if you're in the dl12 area and you haven't stopped here, fix that. end your afternoon with whatever's just come off the roaster.
