David Beattie and Tracy Lee

Food & Drink

Armed with a chemical engineering background, a first hand experience trading coffee at a Sumatran coffee farm and a love for great tasting coffee, David Beattie has founded, grown and developed Rounton coffee into one of the Northwest’s finest importers and roasters of specialty coffee.

The trusty sat nav dropped us in the general vicinity of Rounton Coffee Roasters, but we had to rely on our keen sense of smell to locate the barn. Fortunately for us David Beattie, owner of Rounton Coffee, was just finishing off a roast and the smell of fresh coffee wafted in through our air con. A quick U-turn and we followed our noses back to the barn door.
