Barista Trainer to Wellness Innovator

He later joined Sanremo UK, partnering with top UK roasters and supporting world coffee events like the World Latte Art and Coffee in Good Spirits Championships in Berlin.

Commitment to Healthier Humans

Sourcing for Health

Balance Coffee is built on a simple idea -clean coffee starts at the source.

James works directly with farms that grow naturally clean, speciality-grade beans, free from mould, mycotoxins, and pesticides.

While over 85% of the world’s coffee is classed as commercial grade, Balance sources from the top 5% of farms worldwide, paying up to 25% more for beans that meet the highest standards of purity, flavour, and sustainability.
