Set in the heart of Mid Wales, Llanwrtyd Wells is surrounded by open hills, quiet lanes, riverside paths and forestry tracks. It’s an ideal base for walkers looking for peaceful landscapes, varied terrain and rewarding views without the crowds found in busier national parks.

Here in Mid Wales, we’re lucky. Our upland springs and reservoirs naturally provide water that is clean, balanced, and positively suited to specialty coffee. It’s soft enough to preserve delicate flavours, yet naturally mineral-rich enough to support a full-bodied, satisfying extraction.

We have been using rocket (aka arugula) as “rocket fuel” - in some of our bagels and sometimes on the side.

Did you know that rocket is extremely nutrient-dense with very few calories and a normal serving has important vitamins and minerals that support health.

A 焙烙（ほうろく / hōroku, often written “horoku”) is a shallow ceramic roasting pan traditionally used in Japan over charcoal or an open flame. It’s one of the oldest ways to roast coffee at home.

Wishing you a 2026 filled with good luck, good health, and lots of happiness.

Dymuno 2026 llawn o lwc dda, iechyd da, a digonedd o hapusrwydd i chi.

Herbal teas have been used for centuries as natural remedies and everyday wellness drinks. Made from dried leaves, flowers, seeds, roots, or fruits, herbal teas are usually caffeine-free and valued for their gentle, plant-based benefits.

Few questions spark as much low-stakes passion as this one: tea or coffee? It’s the kind of choice we make half-asleep, yet somehow it feels deeply personal—almost philosophical.

Looking for a coffee shop in Mid-Wales that combines great coffee, fantastic lighter bakes and cakes, and a welcoming community space?
TOST Coffee Shop offers a modern café experience designed for today — relaxed, friendly, and focused on quality.

If you’ve visited an independent café recently, you’ve probably heard the term specialty coffee. It appears on menus, packaging, and coffee shop websites — often alongside tasting notes, origin stories, and brewing methods.

In towns and cities across the UK, from Cardiff to Llanwrtyd Wells, independent cafés are thriving — even in the shadow of big chain giants like Costa, Starbucks, or Caffè Nero. But how do small, local cafés compete with these household names?
