RELISH MADE IN SHEFFIELD AWARD FRAZER’S COFFEE ROASTERS

Well done, Frazer! How does it feel to take this award home?

I didn’t expect this at all, so I’m very humbled right now!

Would you like to share with me the secret of a perfect coffee?

Source! I travel directly to the farms we source from, so I’ve been to Uganda in 2019, Brazil, Colombia… I’ll deal directly with the farm, so I make sure I can cherry-pick the best ones, see how they operate and make sure we can do our job to ensure quality side of things. Aside from that, I’m just very blessed to be working in a city that supports independents they way it does. We’ve just opened a new facility in the city centre, where we’re gonna have a roastery, a cafe and a training room. It’s very exciting times for us!

Do you have a favourite blend?

Oof! I’m always a fan of East Africa. Not a specific country, but the style, the growing methods, the altitude, the processing. If I had to say one, I’d go for Uganda or Ethiopia.

Congratulations guys! Did you expect to win this one?

We hoped so! But no we didn’t expect anything really, and we’re happy to be between some of Sheffield’s finest, so to come here and do it… it just feels fantastic, really.

What’s the secret to a good Mexican meal?

Actually, real corn tortillas is a start! I’m not from Mexico, I’m from Chesterfield, but we put all our heart and soul into our research, our development and just try our hardest. We know our boundaries, but we try to emulate the most authentic as possible cuisine with what we do.

Is there any advice to handle the spice you guys can share with us mortals? I can’t even handle the spice that well, to be honest!

What does the night hold for you now? A nice celebration?

Well, I was supposed to be working in the morning, but probably not now! Let’s have a drink and enjoy!
