Pact Coffee, a speciality coffee roaster based in London, has been recognised as one of the world’s top food and drink producers, achieving three prestigious Great Taste Awards. This milestone marks the fifth consecutive year that Pact Coffee has received accolades in this renowned competition, solidifying its reputation in the industry.
Among this year’s award-winning products was Pact’s Buenos Aires Decaf, which distinguished itself as one of only seven decaffeinated coffees to earn a coveted two-star award. The company also saw recognition for its seasonal offering, Rich & Chocolatey Christmas Filter, along with its Single Estate Microlot Filter, which is currently available in Waitrose and Whole Foods stores across the UK.
The Great Taste Awards are often referred to as the Oscars of the speciality food and drink sector, renowned for their rigorous judging process. Each year, tens of thousands of products undergo blind tastings by a panel of expert judges, and the awards serve as a trusted indicator of quality. The unmistakable black and gold Great Taste logo is sought after by consumers and signifies excellence in the food and beverage industry.
Judges praised Pact’s Buenos Aires Decaf, noting that it “wears its decaf nature very lightly,” highlighting the roaster’s commitment to maintaining high standards in all its products. Will Corby, Pact’s Director of Coffee, expressed his excitement about the continued success: “We’re thrilled to mark five years in a row of winning Great Taste Awards, and this year is particularly special to us.”
Corby attributed their success to the company’s steadfast dedication to decaffeinated coffee, stating, “We’ve stuck to our guns on decaf coffee since we began, always roasting the same standard of coffee that’s on our non-decaf menu no more than seven days before delivery. This is a marked difference from a lot of other decaf on the market, and it’s fantastic to see it awarded with the famous black and gold logo.”
This year’s accolades come on the heels of a busy 12 months for Pact Coffee, which has also expanded its presence by launching products in Waitrose and Whole Foods. The company has reported its highest annual total of roasted coffee, reflecting growing demand for its quality offerings.
Pact Coffee’s achievements not only underscore the increasing recognition of speciality coffee in the UK but also highlight the brand’s commitment to excellence in its craft. As consumer interest in high-quality, ethically sourced coffee continues to rise, Pact Coffee stands poised to further enhance its reputation within the competitive landscape of the coffee industry.
With these latest awards, Pact Coffee has solidified its position as a leading player in the speciality coffee market, proving that dedication to quality and sustainability can yield remarkable results.
