Why We Partnered With Rise

Every so often we like to shine a light on a small, independent brand that we genuinely rate. No sponsorships, no random promos - just fellow founders who care about quality, craft and supporting small producers as much as we do.

Alice & Ben's Story

Rise Coffee Box started in a South London flat during the 2020 lockdown. Alice and Ben were frustrated by the lack of sustainable, ethical coffee options on supermarket shelves - so they decided to do something about it.

"We believe great coffee should do good, too. That's why 1% of all sales goes to the Friendly Coffee Fund."

Each month, they handpick two standout coffees from the best independent UK roasters. Every box includes freshly roasted coffee, roaster stories, farmer highlights, tasting notes, and brewing tips - all in sustainably sourced packaging.

Their approach is refreshingly jargon-free. No coffee snobbery here - just genuinely great coffee made accessible to everyone.
