Wholesale Partners

Here at Fat Dragon Coffee, we roast some of the world’s highest quality and most intriguing coffees available, right here in the Welsh Valleys. We’re proud to offer them in a format that suits you (beans, ground, Nespresso pod) in our online store and to wholesale clients, including cafes, restaurants and gyms across the UK.

In the rugby pre-season of 2017 we decided to act on an issue we had been mulling over in the dressing room for a while. Why when we visit independent third-wave coffee shops does the coffee taste so much better than what we have available to us in the big chains, and even in our own homes?

Our aim was simple, to introduce our communities to Speciality Coffee and teach them how to achieve the same great taste we were experiencing.

We began by sourcing 3 very different high quality coffees from around the world and roasting them so their individual flavour profiles were highlighted in each sip from the cup. Through building repeatable recipes for each coffee our customers would be able to replicate the same great taste in their own homes, regardless of the coffees format.

Proudly roasted in Wales

We place a high value on how the coffee we roast is grown. The farmers we work with genuinely care about their local environment and the quality of the coffee they grow.
