About this coffee:

The Bahia region on Brazil’s east coast has some of the country’s best conditions for growing coffee. But when it comes to the processing they often face problems with the humidity and rain that persist through the harvest season. To ensure their excellent coffee can be dried and milled in the right conditions they transport it 50km to a warmer and drier ecoregion in Caatinga. The journey that the coffee cherries make lasts no more than 24 hours in the truck and it is this short and unique fermentation period that gives this coffee its creamy texture with a mild yet fruity sweetness.

All of the 60+ growers of this coffee are small farm owners whose main and often only income is from producing coffee. One of the producers in the Bahia region, Sidmar Candido da Silva, tells how he and his family come together to carry out all of the harvest and post-harvest work together. They have great dedication to this lifestyle and are always looking to improve the quality of the coffee they produce.

In March 2009 Dominic and Daniella Boyett embarked on a journey that they never thought would ever allow them to experience the success and enjoy the relationships that they’ve established today. It was always Dominic’s entrepreneurial spirit, vision and sheer determination along with his 26 years of experience within the coffee industry, that has taken a dream to own his own roastery and turn it into a reality.
Dominic has always had a reputation for thinking outside of the box by those who know him, and he’s often thrived on those challenges and set himself personal goals within his own career that always seemed to be out of reach.
12 Years have passed and the challenge to be one of the UK’s respected Artisan roasters, pioneering new and unique coffee roasting techniques is very much alive and being fully realized, earning Ue Coffee Roasters a reputation as a leader in our field for producing exceptional speciality coffee.
Over this time we have not only established strong direct working relationships with our farmers, but we have the privilege to be working daily with some of the best baristas in the UK and abroad, through to celebrity chefs and supporting the likes of world famous offices in Whitehall, London.
The journey may very well be under way however there are still many more projects that Dominic and Daniella are keen to get their teeth into, one being the opportunity to develop a roasting model that would make us one of the most sustainable coffee roasteries in Eu
