Little Birdie Coffee

Little Birdie Coffee places coffee roasting in rural Perthshire, Scotland. The company’s story begins with its founder traveling to Papua New Guinea, where she encountered fresh coffee beans and experimented with stovetop roasting. That interest became a small roaster selling coffee, tea, and chocolate to retail and wholesale customers.

Beans are hand-roasted in small batches, a scale that allows the process to be followed closely and each origin’s characteristics to be developed. The collection includes Brazil Cerrado and blends such as Strathmore Roast, combining coffees from Brazil, India, and Indonesia. The latter is described as medium-dark roasted, with chocolate, nutty, and spice notes.

Tartan Coffee, launched in 2025, combines Brazilian coffee with a high-altitude Colombian coffee. Its medium-dark roast accompanies dark cocoa, stone fruit, and grapefruit notes. These are distinct profiles within one brand, with origin and flavor references helping customers choose between a blend and a particular coffee rather than treating every bag as equivalent.

Loose-leaf teas and tea bags broaden the beverage offering. The matcha line includes options such as Chai Matcha, while hot chocolate uses Belgian chocolate flakes with different flavorings, prepared by adding hot milk. The published range covers chocolates with different cocoa percentages, alongside gift boxes and selections for customers wanting several beverages.

Packaging is part of how the business presents itself. Little Birdie describes recyclable coffee packaging, biodegradable and home-compostable tea bags, and local repurposing of coffee sacks. Its sourcing connects with a supplier running direct-purchasing initiatives and supporting small producers. These are specific practices the company relates to coffee origins and the continuity of its activity.

Subscriptions, gifts, and wholesale supply provide different ways to access the range. The stockist directory identifies businesses selling Little Birdie products without making them brand branches. Little Birdie Foods Ltd identifies its base as Alyth, Blairgowrie, Perthshire; the business brings roasting together with teas, matcha, and chocolate for preparing at home or serving in other establishments.
