Baya is the one you reach for when you want your coffee to mean something. Rich and dark-roasted, yet smooth. Spicy dark chocolate meets a bright sweetness in a cup that’s as bold as it is balanced. Baya brings boldness without bitterness.
It’s strong but smooth. Full-bodied but balanced. Perfect for espresso lovers who like their coffee with backbone. This is not everyday coffee. This is specialty coffee built to be remembered.
Every bean in Baya is Organic and Fairtrade certified.
The beans come from women-led farms in Sumatra, Honduras, and Peru, and every one is Organic and Fairtrade certified. Organic farming gives us cleaner, fuller flavour, which leads to sweeter cherries and no harshness in the cup.
While Fairtrade and specialty grade ensures the people who grow this coffee are paid properly, which means they care what goes in your cup. Better care means better beans, and better beans means better taste.
Don’t just take our word for it: Baya earned Silver at Food Drink Devon Producer Awards 2021 for a reason.

Meet the farmer
Baya is a smooth and expressive blend of Organic, Fairtrade, and specialty-grade coffees from Honduras, Peru, and Sumatra. In Honduras, the women of AMPROCAL work together to produce coffee with chocolate sweetness and gentle fruit notes. In Peru, APROCOYCE farmers grow high-altitude Arabica in cloud forests, adding balance and caramel depth. From Sumatra, KOPEPI Ketiara’s women-led cooperative protects forests through its Hutan project while contributing body, richness, and tropical fruit layers. Together they create a cup that is rewarding and full of character.

Fairtrade
Fairtrade is a global system that ensures farmers are paid a fairer, more stable price for their coffee, with an additional premium invested back into their co-operatives and communities. This stability gives producers and their communities the chance to plan for the future and strengthen local infrastructure — from training and adoption of improved farming practices and equipment to community education and clean water projects. Combined with organic practices and specialty-grade standards, our coffee is grown with expertise that supports quality at every stage, with fewer shortcuts and greater care, and this is what makes every cup of Owens coffee taste consistently clean, balanced, and rewarding.

Organic
Our organic coffees are grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilisers, protecting both the environment and the people who farm it. Healthier soil produces stronger plants, and slower-ripening cherries develop more natural sugars, creating sweetness and clarity in the cup. Organic farming also safeguards biodiversity, protects local ecosystems and supports long-term resilience for farming communities. For customers, this means coffee that is cleaner, more complex and free from chemical harshness. Paired with Fairtrade principles and specialty-grade quality, Organic farming is one of the reasons every mug of Owens tastes consistently bright, balanced, and rewarding.

Specialty coffee
Specialty grade is the independent standard that guarantees every coffee we roast meets the highest benchmarks of quality. Scored by trained Q graders on aroma, flavour, body, and balance, specialty coffees must achieve 80 points or more on the Specialty Coffee Association (SCA) scale — proof of excellence that is recognised worldwide. For farmers, it reflects the care and precision that goes into cultivation, harvesting, and processing. For customers, it means every bag of Owens delivers a cup that is consistently clean, flavour-rich, and rewarding. Combined with our Soil Association Organic certification and Fairtrade sourcing, specialty grade ensures Owens coffee is not only ethical, but exceptional.

Sustainability
Our Loring roaster is one of the most energy-efficient machines in the world, reducing fuel consumption by up to 80% compared with traditional drum roasters. By using a single-burner system that recirculates hot air, it cuts carbon emissions dramatically while maintaining precise, even roasting. For customers, it means every bag of Owens carries a roast profile that is consistent, smooth, and full of character.
