Coffee is consumed widely across Northern Ireland, especially in Belfast, where this tradition stems back to Harland and Wolff dockyards in the 1800s. Thousands of workers were employed to build grand ships, the most famous being the RMS TITANIC of the White Star Line. Large ships built in the Belfast yard were constructed with sh

From coffee vans to subscription services, new coffee start-ups have been thriving during lockdown.

One of these ventures Belfast Coffee Co was started during lockdown by a group of four friends, who have such an incredible story behind their brand.

‘We are showcasing a Belfast family tradition of coffee roasting with a focus on Belfast, Ireland and its people,’ says co-founder Albie Oberholzer.

The brand is focused around the heritage of the Allan family – Robert Allan, a Belfast shipwright who is related to one of the start-up friends Eddie Allan.

In the 1800s Belfast was the fastest growing city in the world with thousands employed to build grand ships and work in the thriving rope industry.

On the ships ‘Fire Boys’ kept the coal fires roaring to heat the rivets and prepare the coffee that would keep everyone awake on the long 12-hour shifts.

Robert Allan blended coffee with spices he traded, and this recipe was the founding recipe for Belfast Coffee brewed by The Belfast Coffee Co.

“We wanted to build on this tradition of strong, full-flavoured coffee,” says Albie, “with good quality beans roasted in 12 kg batches.”

Their product launched in October 2020, and is already stocked by eight retailers in Northern Ireland.

Their main market is subscription and one-off purchases, and so far they’ve sold nearly three tons of coffee, with the US and Australia being keen customers. They have also shipped to Singapore and Cyprus.

Not bad for a start-up which is barely a year old 💪

At UK Coffee Week we love hearing stories like this 👍😀
