About this coffee:

This coffee comes from a group of female Lenca producers in Lempira department in the Opalaca region of Honduras and is exclusive to Ue Coffee Roasters in the UK.

The Lenca are the largest indigenous group in Honduras, there are an estimated 100,000 Lenca in the country, with their activity primarily focused around cultivation of agricultural crops.

Following two major hurricanes in 2020, much of their drying infrastructure for processing coffee in this region was damaged. A premium of 15c/lb was paid on this coffee to facilitate the building of a community drying station with raised parabolic beds. The station is available for free for the producers of the group. They receive training to use the thermo hygrometer and moisture meter to help them track air temperature, humidity and the moisture content of their drying coffee to help ensure the final quality of their processed crop.

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
