We're a father and son who started Blue Coffee Box in 2017. We've featured coffees from 28 coffee-growing countries so far, and we pick every coffee from the UK's 300+ independent speciality roasters. You get a different coffee with every delivery, so you'll never get bored.

Kinder to the planet
Our coffee comes in letterbox-sized EcoBags and EcoPacks that keep packaging to a minimum. Whole beans or freshly ground coffee also means no single-use pods or capsules to throw away.
Fair for farmers
Speciality coffee is bought for its quality, not at the commodity-market price, and many of our roasters work with the same farms and cooperatives year after year.

The Blue Coffee Box story
Experienced business owner Jon (Dad) was excited by the speciality coffee subscription model during his business travels in the USA. Combined with Harvey's (Son) passion for coffee, they saw a gap in the UK market.
Blue Coffee Box is born
Harvey, during his A-levels, wanted a way to avoid university debt. After discussing with dad, Blue Coffee Box was born, operating from the spare bedroom at home.
Growing the business
The business met its three main goals: a commitment to ethical sourcing of specialty coffee, breaking even, and supporting Harvey’s university fees. This is also the year that Blue Tea Box was born.
Commitment to sustainability
To further reduce their environmental impact, Blue Coffee Box introduced the EcoBag and EcoPack. This packaging pioneered sustainability, experimenting with home-compostable, plastic-free bags and reducing cardboard use by 58%.
A fresh new look
As demand grew, Blue Coffee Box invested in custom-designed packaging and a refreshed website to better showcase their premium, ethically sourced coffees and teas.
