A coffee firm based in a small North Yorkshire village is celebrating success in a prestigious awards scheme for the third year running.

Rounton Coffee Roasters, which was founded in 2012 in East Rounton near Northallerton, is celebrating its third consecutive year of Great Taste Award success, bringing their total stars to ten.

It means that five of Rounton Coffee's products are now Great Taste winners, including El Salvador Bosque Lya which has earned a second star this year.

Great Taste is the world's largest food and drink awards, with each entry being blind-tasted by selected chefs, retailers, restaurateurs, food critics and writers.

Rounton's head of coffee, David Burton, said: "These awards mean so much to us here at Rounton Coffee.

"It's a sign that the relationships that we make with producers are leading to great quality coffee.

“Not only do these relationships lead to tastier coffee year upon year, but they also allow more money to make it back to the people who produce it.

"To us, that's what responsibly-sourced coffee is all about".

Also picking up two stars was Rounton Coffee's Sparkling Water Decaf, with the Great Taste judges praising its "cherry-like sweetness".

Rounton Coffee founder David Beattie said: "We're seeing more and more customers seek out great decaf, and it's ace to see that the Great Taste judges have awarded ours two stars, two years in a row."
