Description
Girls Who Grind Oh My Goth Beans is fabulous dark roast coffee. However, it may be news to you, but dark roast coffee from female producers is seriously difficult to find. Trust us.
Oh My Goth, is our first official venture into a darker, more developed roast profile. Why? Well, you spoke, we listened. We’re not normally this submissive, but we do know that these darker roast profiles with more development make for incredible espressos and easier brewing.
If you enjoy the more traditional richer coffee flavours, we see you. This roast was developed to highlight toffee sweetness, rich chocolate, and big body, oh hello. Expect low acidity, a lot of sweetness and a smooth buttery mouthfeel. It will work amazingly well in milk-based drinks or as a straight-up big bold espresso.
This season’s OMGoth is a badass blend between Juscyleia Reis and Ana, Cris and Renata’s (Mio) natural Brazilian babies!

Why We Chose This Supplier:
Girls Who Grind Coffee is an all-female specialty coffee roastery owned by Casey LaLonde.
Casey, originally from Upstate New York, had the dream of starting her own coffee business for as long as she can remember and there’s nothing she’s ever had as much passion for. She has happy childhood memories of her house filling up with the smell of coffee brewing in the mornings and became passionate about producer relationships after studying power dynamics for her Sociology degree.
Casey started off her career in a cupping lab and roastery where she learned how to cup and roast. She also assisted on Q-Grader courses. She enjoyed the experience of working in a lab but learned two things. 1. She wanted to work for herself. 2. She wanted to be involved in green buying and producer relationships.
After moving to the UK in 2009 and two daughters later, she was ready to start her dream business. She founded GWGC along with a previous co-founder, Fi O’Brien, in 2017.
Coffee is a wonderful world, but it’s also not always a fair and equal one. GWGC recognises the inequalities women face in coffee and sets out to help create an industry where women felt seen and celebrated for everything they bring to the table and have their voices heard. Hence, we made the conscious decision to focus solely on buying coffee from female producers, sharing their stories with the world, and giving them the recognition they rightly deserve for the incredible work that they do.
