Hello! I'm Sam, the founder of Bryte - a speciality coffee roaster based near St Andrews.
Most of my life has been spent working in schools and having adventures around the world. Through these amazing experiences two great passions emerged: coffee and community!
Bryte is a fusion of these wonderful things, which have been the driving force behind our mission: to craft delicious coffee that makes people happy.
I am so excited to begin this new chapter out of schools and into the coffee industry. It's my hope that Bryte coffee will not only create a little extra happiness when in the mug, but will also inspire connections and community wherever it might be enjoyed!
Thanks so much for the photograph @mathilde_rice_photography !

✨ New Stockist Alert ✨
You can now find our coffee at the incredible @pittormiefruitfarm !
There's few things we love more than a local partnership, especially when we’re working with people like the Pittormie Farm team. They absolutely share our passion for the Fife countryside as well as for truly traceable, artisanal produce.
If you haven’t visited the Pittormie Farm Shop yet - you’re missing out! It's packed with fresh, seasonal fruit and vegetables, as well as a fantastic range of food and drink from local producers. It is a must-visit destination for anyone who loves delicious, local food and drink.
So, next time you're heading through #Dairsie or out for a drive near #Cupar, swing by the farm shop to pick up:
💙 Something Mellow from Peru, with tasting notes of milk chocolate, toffee and just a hint of orange blossom
💛 Something Decaf from Colombia, with tasting notes of caramel, poached apple and vanilla.
A massive thank you to Euan and the whole team for welcoming us to the farm and supporting our coffee adventure!

This is the next in our stunning series of Bryte photographs by the fantastic @hungrykamerastudio . We adore this shot of Something Wild - it is a glorious moment of playful simplicity.
Bryte has been up and running for 6 months and we wanted to take a moment to say hello (again) and thanks!
So, hello - I’m Sam and I am the founder of Bryte! I love life and in life I love:
❤️ Quality time with friends & family
🤝 The incredible coffee community
☕️ A truly tasty brew (obviously!)
🌊 Cold sea dips & long beach walks
🧢 Funky fleeces and a flat cap
For me, Bryte is more than just roasting coffee (although that's pretty important) - it’s about creating moments. We want to enrich those soul-nourishing mindful and social parts of your day with a delicious, inclusive coffee experience.
Although we haven't been around for long, the support, encouragement and positivity that we've received so far has been incredible.
So, thank you! Thank you for being on the journey with us, and we can't wait share more coffee and community with you in the months and years ahead!
🌱 Producer Spotlight 🌱
At Bryte, we want to celebrate the amazing people whose dedication and skill has grown, processed and sourced our coffee!
🎉 Today, we're sharing our love for Llave de Oro in Palomar, Peru.
Here's what you need to know:
👤 Llave de Oro was established in 1970, and is now run by top Peruvian producer, Andres Bazos
📍 High in the Peruvian Andes, Llave de Oro thrives on the mist-veiled slopes of Palomar, where nutrient-rich soil and a high-altitude climate help cultivate exceptional coffee
🎯 Llave de Oro produces stunning speciality coffee that masterfully blends decades of heritage with sophisticated modern farming techniques
⛴ This coffee is sourced by Mark and the team at @khipucoffee ; by sourcing directly from small family farms and impact-driven cooperatives, Khipu maintains a fully transparent supply chain that ensures total traceability from the Peruvian highlands to UK-based coffee roasters
☕ Our Oro has beautiful clarity and depth, with milk chocolate and golden toffee melting into a shimmering hint of delicate orange blossom.

We're delighted to announce that Bryte coffee is now available at the brilliant @pineapple_espressocoffee in Glasgow.
