Kildare coffee company DB Beans has acquired the Irish rights to sell a range of coffee beans from Pure Roast Coffee, the Lisburn-based coffee roasters and wholesalers.

The Pure Roast range is a range of “premium, award-winning coffee beans, roasted in one of only two BRC AA food standard-accredited coffee roasting facilities in Ireland,” according to the company, and is aimed at cafés, hotels, restaurants, and offices.
