Perky Blenders Coffee Roasters Ltd

roasters that actually have skin in the game, not just a retail shelf somewhere. perky blenders operates out of howard road in leyton, which puts it east of the usual specialty circuit, and that distance from the shoreditch gravitational pull seems intentional. this is a production roastery first, which means what you're drinking has gone through real scrutiny before it reaches you, not just marketing. the standing here is strong, and consistently so, which for a roaster without a flashy high street presence says something about the product doing the work. if you're in e11, or willing to make the trip out, howard road is the kind of address that rewards the detour with coffee roasted on-site rather than sourced from somewhere else's surplus.
