Christmas at White Rose: Our Coffees, Our New Christmas Blend & Festive Opening Times
The nights are drawing in, the roaster is working overtime and the whole unit smells like Christmas. It's our favourite time of year here at White Rose Coffee Roasters, and we've got plenty to share: a quick tour of what we roast, the arrival of our brand-new Christmas Blend, and the important bit — our Christmas closing dates so you can stock up in good time.
Freshly roasted in Halifax, every day
We're a small-batch coffee roaster based in Halifax, West Yorkshire. We roast daily in small batches on our Toper drum roasters, which means the coffee you receive hasn't been sitting in a warehouse for months — it's been roasted just days, sometimes hours, before it reaches you.
Small batches give us control. Every origin gets a roast profile built to bring out what makes it special, whether that's the bright fruit of an East African coffee or the chocolatey depth of a South American one.
Something for every cup
We roast a wide range of coffees, so whatever you brew with and however you take it, there's something for you:
- Single origins — coffees from individual countries, regions and farms around the world, each with its own character. Perfect if you like to explore and taste the difference that origin makes.
- Blends — carefully balanced combinations designed for consistency and crowd-pleasing flavour. Great as an everyday coffee, and brilliant through an espresso machine or with milk.
- Decaf — all the flavour, none of the late-night buzz.
- Whole bean or ground — buy whole beans for the freshest cup, or let us grind for your brewing method, from espresso and stovetop to filter, cafetière and AeroPress.
- Subscriptions — never run out again. Choose your coffee and frequency and we'll roast and send it on schedule.
- Coffee gifts — the easy answer for the coffee lover who has everything.
Not sure where to start? Get in touch and tell us how you like your coffee — we're always happy to recommend something.
Introducing our Christmas Blend
Every year we look forward to this one. Our new Christmas Blend has been crafted to capture the cosy, indulgent flavours of the festive season — the kind of coffee you want in your mug on a frosty morning, after Christmas dinner, or alongside a mince pie (or three).
A unique blend of Costa Rica Hacienda La Minta, Ethiopian Yirgacheffe Aricha, Brazil Fazenda Inhame Peaberry and Rwanda Arabica coffees - giving a rich spicy and citrussy taste.
It's a smooth, rounded coffee that works beautifully as espresso, in a milky latte, or brewed in a cafetière for the whole family. It's also limited to the festive season, so once it's gone, it's gone until next year.
Looking for a gift? The Christmas Blend makes a perfect present for friends, family, colleagues and neighbours — or pair it with a coffee subscription to keep the gift going well into the new year.
Christmas closing dates
Our team will be taking a well-earned break over the festive period. Please note:
- We close at 3pm on Wednesday 23rd December 2026.
- We reopen on Monday 4th January 2027.
- There will be no collections between these dates. If you're collecting an order, please make sure you pick it up before 3pm on Wednesday 23rd December.
You can still browse and place orders on our website while we're closed. Any orders placed during the closure will be freshly roasted and dispatched once we're back on Monday 4th January.
Want your coffee before Christmas? We recommend ordering as early as possible to allow for the busy festive post. Because we can not control control carrier delivery times during the busy festive periods - we advise ordering by Friday 18th December. We will be shipping orders right up to 3pm on the 23rd - but expect them to arrive at some point between Christmas and New Year.
Thank you
From all of us at White Rose Coffee Roasters, thank you for supporting a small, independent Yorkshire roaster this year. Every bag you buy means the world to us.
We wish you a very Merry Christmas and a happy, well-caffeinated New Year!
