Our Story

2017

Our beginning

Trá Coffee was born from a passion for coffee and family. After years serving in the Irish Army, I set out to build something closer to home. Time spent in Lebanon, Liberia and Chad sparked a deep appreciation for the diversity and character of great coffee.

That curiosity led me to begin sustainably sourcing beans from smallholder farmers and carefully roasting each origin to highlight its unique qualities delivering premium coffee, or as we like to say, happiness in a cup.

Our Process

We ethically source high-quality, specialty-grade beans from smallholder farmers, selecting coffees for their character, clarity and consistency. With a focus on single origin lots, each coffee is chosen to reflect the true expression of its region. Roasting takes place in small batches on our 15kg drum roaster, allowing for precision, balance and careful flavour development. As a one-man operation, every stage from sourcing to roasting is personally overseen, ensuring exceptional attention to detail in every bag.
