Founded in 2017 in Edinburgh by Sam and Alice Young, Obadiah grew out of Sam’s formative roasting years at Five Senses in Australia and set a course for seasonal, minimal, and clarity driven coffee. The roastery sits under the Abbeyhill arches and focuses on preserving a coffee’s natural character with a gentle, precise roast while keeping communication clean and transparent across labels and online. Obadiah’s offer list leans strongly single origin and treats unusual or less common origins with the same restraint and detail, resulting in cups that feel honest, elegant, and easy to understand.

Roasting is light and carefully calibrated, yielding sweet, clear cups with tidy finishes and predictable extractions. The range reads distinctly by lot and origin, with classic processing at the core and occasional uncommon origins adding interest without pushing process ahead of place. Packaging and product pages are minimal and producer first, with farm, variety, process, and harvest easy to find, which reinforces trust from bag to brew.
