Hello friends,
I’ve just returned from a short trip to New York — windows glittering, carols in the air, and that famous tree lighting up the night. Magical, yes… but there’s nothing quite like stepping back into our roastery near Arundel: Christmas trees twinkling, beans crackling in the roaster, and the whole barn smelling gloriously festive.
As a small, local, family-run business, it’s all hands to the deck at this time of the year and it’s good to know that we have some gorgeous goodies in the store and roastery. Everyone loves a Christmas gift which feels personal, thoughtful, and ready to make someone’s morning. Here are a few of my personal favourites:
Our top picks for this festive season:
Cosy Moments Gift Set:
I admit that we spent a fair amount of time chomping through chocolate bars to find the right one! This delicious chocolate bar pairs perfectly with a bag of our festive roasted coffee for an ideal slow winter weekend …rich, smooth and perfect alongside a steaming mug.
The Simplicitea and Ingenuitea tea brewers – loose leaf heaven:
I personally can’t survive without my morning cuppa and am a loose leaf fan! So these 2 tea brewers are my kitchen staples - they are so simple and ingenious to use!
Everyone deserves to drink the best tea this Christmas, and for the ultimate tea devotee it’s got to be loose leaf. Easy to use, clean and dishwasher safe, your daily brew will be elevated in so many ways.. Captures the leaves with no need for a strainer, no faff, all the flavour. Pair with your favourite Edge tea and you’re good to go!
Our Festive Brews!:
Whether you’re a coffee or tea lover, we’ve got you covered this festive season with the perfect winter warmers.
From rich, warming coffees with notes of brandy spice and chocolate to comforting teas with hints of cinnamon and clove, these Christmas brews make wonderful stocking fillers — or you can bundle them together as a festive gift set!
The EDGE mug – add a dash of character to the daily grind:
I love the playful yet modern vibe of this mug- I’ll be popping one of these into all my sons’ stockings this Christmas – it’s virtually unbreakable and will look great in any kitchen!
This charming enamel mug isn't just a stylish addition to one’s morning routine—it's also part of our brand-new packaging design that runs across our entire product line. Made with FSC-certified materials , a bag of our coffee and the EDGE mug would make a thoughtful, eco-friendly gift for anyone who values sustainability as much as a good cup of coffee or tea.
The Festive Brew Box:
This gift box is perfect for any coffee lover looking to elevate their home brewing skills. It includes our signature Sussex Barn Blend and our festive Espirito Santa, offering two fantastic coffees for exploring new flavours.
Also included is a Café Olé cafetiere, an ideal way to learn the basics of brewing great coffee at home.
A great treat for yourself or a thoughtful gift for someone special.
If you’re local to Sussex...
Come and join us for one of our weekend Christmas events in December – the Roastery Café and Shop are open 7 days a week, brimming with warmth, festive brews, and delicious food treats.
Pop in for a coffee, meet the team, and soak up a little seasonal cheer.
You can even order online and collect in-store, ensuring your Christmas gifts (and your favourite beans or blends) are ready right when you need them.
Thank you for supporting local — it means we can keep roasting fresh, hand-blending with care, and welcoming you to the barn all season long.
With all my warmest wishes to you and your family this festive season .
- Alice
