LOST SHEEP FIND GOLD! The teamat British speciality coffee roaster Lost Sheep are celebrating after winningGold at theGreat British Food Awards 2024 for not one, but two of their brilliant products N ot much can beat a freshly-made barista-style coffee enjoyed in your own home with the very best beans, and that’s exactly what Stuart and Sarah Wilson set out to help consumers achieve when they established Lost Sheep more than 10 years ago. “Lost Sheep was born in 2012 after we decided to stop being ‘sheep’ and to go get ‘lost’ travelling the world,” reveals Stuart. Instantly captivated by the incredible flavours of the coffee in Melbourne, they knew they had to share this experience with coffee lovers when they arrived back in the UK. “Since that magical year backpacking around the world in 2011, we have grown a little – so far this year we have roasted enough coffee to make more than four million Aussie-style espresso shots,” Stuart adds. You may wonder what makes Aussie-style coffee so special, and why it gained the pair’s attention. Well, for Sarah and Stuart, it’s the Aussie’s love for high quality, ethically sourced, speciality coffee. “Australia has a well-deserved reputation as a coffee-loving nation with a super vibrant coffee culture that has captured the hearts of locals and its visitors alike,” explains Stuart. greatbr i t i shfoodawards.com 150 GBF PROMOT ION
