Wholesale for shops

Stock Modern Standard coffee in your shop

Speciality coffee, Field Work Tea and award-winning hot chocolate for farm shops, delis and independent retailers. Roasted to order in Fife, in bags that look great on the shelf.

Coffee being roasted at the Modern Standard roastery in Glenrothes

Why stock Modern Standard

We roast five days a week, to order, at Scotland's biggest speciality coffee roastery in Glenrothes, Fife. So the coffee on your shelf is fresh, not weeks old.

We're a certified B Corp. We buy directly from farmers and pay on average 40% over the Fairtrade minimum, and our coffee bags go in kerbside recycling. That's a story your customers can feel good about, and one our team is happy to tell in your shop.
