Dart is the coffee you come back to when you want a cup that’s comforting, interesting, and endlessly dependable. With its honeyed sweetness and bright citrus lift, this specialty blend is smooth, sophisticated, and perfect for filter or cafetière.
Made from 100% Organic & Fairtrade Arabica, Dart is grown with care by smallholder producers in Peru and Ethiopia. Its roast is lighter, to bring out delicate floral tones and gentle sweetness—never sharp, always balanced. These are coffees that taste as good as they should—just sweet, mellow, and made with integrity.
Dart isn’t just in the cup—it’s been recognised for its quality too. It earned Great Taste in 2020 and Gold at Taste of the West 2023. A flavour that’s award-winning by experts, not just by us.

Meet the farmer
Dart is a vibrant blend of Organic, Fairtrade, and specialty-grade coffees from Peru and Ethiopia. In Peru, the APROCOYCE cooperative cultivates high-altitude Arabica in cloud forests, producing smooth chocolate and caramel sweetness with bright fruit notes. From Ethiopia’s Yirgacheffe region, smallholder farmers grow and wash coffees that bring jasmine aroma, lemon brightness, and a clean finish. Together they create a cup that is lively, balanced, 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.
