Edgcumbes hosted the open day as an official launch of its coffee roastery and take-away shop, and the day also marked its first weekend of opening.

Visitors were shown the company’s sustainable and environmental use of coffee waste and many took bags of coffee chaff, a by-product of coffee roasting, home for compost.

The ‘Recycle, Re-use, Really good tea and coffee’ scheme was also promoted, where customers buy a tin of coffee or tea and then receive a ten per cent discount when it is refilled.
