Caribbean Roasters

Overview

Caribbean Roasters is the largest coffee roaster in the English-speaking Caribbean, headquartered in Trinidad & Tobago with close to 90 years of continuous operation. The company supplies retail and wholesale across the region and was named Manufacturer of the Year by the Trinidad and Tobago Manufacturers' Association twice — in 2017 and again subsequently — making it the institutional anchor of T&T's coffee industry.

Known for

  • Largest coffee roaster and distributor in the English-speaking Caribbean by volume
  • Two-time TTMA Manufacturer of the Year award winner
  • Caribbean-flavored signature blends (Beach Blend, Coconut Blend medium-dark roast)
  • Hand-made Chocolate Rum Balls (described as 'the world's only') as a sister product line
  • Vertical integration across coffee retail, wholesale, equipment service, and barista technical support

Why it matters

Caribbean Roasters is the heritage industrial anchor of specialty-adjacent coffee in the English-speaking Caribbean — the back-end operation that quietly supplies most regional hospitality wholesale, predating today's third-wave operators by close to a century.
