Our Story

Leaf Right

From Bean and Leaf to Cup – a love for great coffee and tea, shared.

Peaberry & Leaf began with a simple idea: that truly delicious coffee and tea can, and should, be enjoyed every day, wherever you are. Whether you’re brewing at home, in your café, or in your workplace, we’re here to help you make every cup something truly special.

A personal journey

Hi! I’m Cara, Founder and Director of Peaberry & Leaf.

After many years working in the charity sector, I wanted to create something rooted in joy and everyday rituals. I’ve always loved great coffee and tea – not just the taste, but the care and craftsmanship that go into every stage of the process, from farm to cup.

Peaberry & Leaf is my way of sharing that passion with you. I’m currently working towards my SCA Diploma and have trained in Sensory Skills, Brewing and Barista Skills, as well as becoming a UK Tea Academy Tea Champion and trainee Tea Sommelier. This learning is at the heart of everything we do, combining knowledge with curiosity and care.

A mission grounded in quality and transparency

We believe that when you know where your coffee or tea has come from, how it’s been grown, and how best to brew it, it tastes better. That’s why we only source high-quality, traceable coffees and teas – so you can enjoy every cup with confidence and intention.

Our coffees are always speciality grade, and we work closely with trusted importers who share our commitment to transparency and sustainability. We know that small choices add up. From recyclable packaging to offering reliable brewing equipment with easily replaceable parts, sustainability is always part of our thinking.

A community of thoughtful brewers

Peaberry & Leaf is more than a shop – it’s a community of people who care about what they consume and how it’s made. Whether you’re buying your morning coffee or looking to create the perfect gift, we’re here to help you make informed, joyful choices.

Thank you for being part of our story so far.

Happy brewing!
