About Hundred House Coffee
Hundred House Coffee is a British micro-roastery. Their team comprises of the two founders, Matthew Wade and Anabelle De Gersigny. Their focus is roasting and producing smaller batches of coffee, but all the more refined. They take great care in sourcing, testing and roasting their beans until they have the absolutely perfect taste and aroma.
Matthew has been roasting coffee for more than 18 years. After graduating from art school, he moved to New Zealand where he worked as a barista in different cafes and roasteries. A few years later, in 2002, he moved back to London and took all the skills and experience he gained back with him, where he was one of the first to surf the speciality coffee wave in Great Britain. There he became one of the first Q-graders and he also graduated from Los Angeles Coffee Chemistry. He took part in countless competitions, not just as a participant, but also as a judge and speaker.
