Have any questions?

No. Nothing added.

Coffee is a naturally healthy drink IF it's sourced, roasted and tested fully for quality.

We've been sourcing the highest grade specialty coffee from the same farms for over 10 years to ensure a super consistent cup. We roast the best beans from each crop and then comprehensively lab test to ensure the cleanest, healthiest coffee product on the market.

Way back in 2015, we were the first company to start lab testing coffee to guarantee cleanness, quality and health credentials.

Our independent lab tests for the following:

  • No moulds or mycotoxins
  • No heavy metals
  • No pesticides
  • Minerals & antioxidants
  • Caffeine consistency

So you can feel great with every cup!

  • For UK Mainland, if you order before 12pm (mid-day), the great news is you’ll receive your items the next working day.
  • For Offshore UK (including Scottish Highlands), items ordered before 12pm (mid-day) will take 2 working days to be delivered.
  • Orders placed over the weekend will be picked and packed on Monday (or Tuesday over bank holiday weekends)
  • International deliveries usually take between 3-5 working days.

The good news is, delivery is free for orders over £30!

If your order is under £30, a small delivery fee of £3.49 will be charged as a contribution towards our delivery costs

IT'S GREAT TO MEET YOU!

I fell in love with coffee when I lived in Colombia - the taste, the buzz, the people!

Since then, Simon & I have become obsessed with making delicious, healthy coffee that makes people feel amazing!

It doesn't matter who you are, or how you like to drink your coffee, TrueStart is for you!

Welcome to the TrueStart family - Helena & Simon.

The difference in bean quality

Quality obsessed. No shortcuts.

Not all coffee is created equal. Quality can vary enormously before the beans are even roasted - from how carefully they have been grown, picked, processed and stored to the condition and consistency of the green coffee itself.

We choose our coffee against strict standards for flavour and quality - each batch is cupped around 20 times before it even arrives here in the UK for roasting!

Alongside careful sourcing and relentless tasting, we independently lab test our coffee across the quality and purity markers that matter to us.

Caffeine consistency

We verify caffeine levels, helping you choose the right strength and stay in control of how your coffee makes you feel.

Mycotoxins

We test for naturally occurring toxins produced by moulds, including ochratoxin A and aflatoxins.

Pesticide residues

Our testing includes extensive screening for a wide range of pesticide compounds.

Heavy metals

We test for metals including lead, cadmium, arsenic and mercury.

Purity and safety

Our testing also covers acrylamide and microbiological markers including yeasts, moulds, E. coli and Salmonella.

A lovely smooth yet strong coffee

A lovely smooth yet strong coffee. Just a little bit of a kick to get me going- you won’t be able to tell it is half caff.

Nice little kick

If you’re looking for that perfect "Goldilocks" solution to the afternoon slump, TrueStart’s lightly decaffeinated coffee is an absolute game-changer.
It hits that elusive sweet spot where you get a gentle, sustained lift without the jittery intensity of a full-strength brew. It’s the perfect companion for those mid-afternoon hours when your focus starts to dip, but you know a heavy dose of caffeine would just leave you bouncing off the walls or struggling to wind down later.
What I love most is the clean, smooth finish—it provides just enough of a kick to sharpen the senses and help me power through the rest of the day’s tasks with clarity and ease. It’s become a staple in my routine for keeping productivity steady without the compromise. Highly recommended if you value a balanced, mindful energy boost!

Hey Richard, Thank you so much for this beautifully written review! We love the 'Goldilocks' description - this is exactly what we are aiming for with our Half Caf range So glad it's become a staple for keeping your afternoons steady and productive 🙌 It's brilliant having you on the team Richard
