Our Beans
At Zilva, every bean tells a story. We’ve partnered with producers and roasters who get what good coffee should be — flavourful, consistent, and sourced responsibly. Our lineup runs from everyday essentials to certified speciality grades, each one chosen because it delivers something worth brewing.
We approach roasting seriously. There’s strong blends for no-nonsense mornings, complex single origins for considered brewing, and our speciality-grade Brazil and Signature Blend for refined sweetness and depth. Everything is designed to deliver reliable satisfaction, cup after cup.
Whatever your brewing method or mood, we've created a range with genuine character and balance. From espresso to filter, each coffee is roasted to showcase its strengths: bold intensity, smooth comfort, or nuanced complexity. No filler, no corners cut, just great coffee that proves quality doesn't need to be complicated
Our Story
Zilva was born from years of building the right relationships.
We've done the hard work: finding suppliers, roasters, and partners who share our vision of making exceptional coffee accessible. These connections let us work differently. Direct sourcing from trusted partners, no warehouse overheads, and streamlined logistics that keep quality high and prices honest.
By cutting out unnecessary layers and working directly with people who believe in what we're doing, we've created something special. Because of this model, we can offer speciality-grade coffee at a fair price point without sacrificing quality or brand value. This isn't just about lower prices; it's about proving that when you combine the right relationships with smart business, everyone wins, especially you.
Our Brand
Zilva keeps everything in-house. We've combined expertise in coffee, logistics, and branding into one tight operation. No middlemen or outsourcing, just one team handling everything from bean selection to delivery. This means we control quality at every step and cut out the inefficiencies that make other coffee expensive. It's not complicated: when you own the whole process, you can do things better and charge less. That's the Zilva difference.
Zil·va (noun)
1. Premium coffee that delivers consistent quality while remaining accessible — clean, unpretentious, and effortlessly dependable.
The name comes from 'silver' — and we chose it for a reason. Silver's valuable without shouting about it, refined without trying too hard. It's solid, dependable, and works in any setting. That felt right for what we're building: coffee that's consistently excellent without the fuss. Clean, versatile, and gets the job done properly. The name Zilva captures that same understated quality. Premium coffee that doesn't need to prove anything, it just delivers.
Our Purpose
The UK coffee scene is full of big promises and bigger prices. We're here to change that. By combining real expertise with genuine relationships and smart operations, we're proving that premium coffee doesn't need premium pricing.
We've streamlined every part of the business, from sourcing to delivery, creating something that's genuinely greater than the sum of its parts. Each element is exceptional on its own — trusted suppliers, expert roasters, efficient distribution — but together they create something special. Years of working with partners who believe in what we're doing means we get brilliant coffee at better rates.
No unnecessary layers, no inflated margins, just experienced people working together to deliver outstanding coffee at prices that make sense. This is what happens when you stop overcomplicating things and focus on doing the fundamentals brilliantly. Better coffee, better value, and a better way of doing business.
Our Mission
At Zilva, sustainability is at the heart of everything we do. That’s why we’ve partnered with Carma to help reduce our environmental impact. For every bag of coffee you purchase, Carma plants a tree—creating a simple but powerful way to give back to the planet with every cup.
