Owens Coffee

Owens Coffee has been roasting 100% certified Organic and Fairtrade coffee since 2010. We were the first dedicated organic coffee roaster in the UK’s South West.

At our energy efficient premises off the A38, is our production facility and shop/takeaway, specialising in Owens coffee products, hand-selected coffee makers & gifts. It also provides a contemporary space to welcome visitors and offer tours, demonstrations, barista training, coffee experiences and cupping sessions. Our unique experiences include a Home Barista Masterclass and a Coffee Tasting & Brewing Course.

Sustainability is at the heart of Owens Coffee. That includes looking after the people and communities involved in producing our coffee, as well as the environment. It starts with the Arabica beans: shade-grown at higher altitudes.

Organic farming methods ripens the beans slowly, contributing to a fuller flavour profile without chemicals. Our beans are certified organic by the Soil Association for full traceability. Strict procedures and quality control means freshness and flavour benefit from certification.

Our coffees are also Fairtrade, guaranteeing a fair price for the beans, providing a Fairtrade Premium for farmers to invest as they see fit, PLUS an infrastructure offering high-quality advice, supporting growth and combatting the impact of climate change. Our beans are clean-roasted using our high-tech, smoke-free Loring roaster.

Arguably the most energy efficient model on the planet, it uses 80% less energy than other roasting equipment. It is cleaner for the operators, and the environment PLUS, with fewer emissions throughout the roasting process, it locks in flavour, producing superb tasting coffees.

We offer 5 popular house blends, single origin coffees and regular seasonal coffees. Our products regularly win awards; locally, nationally and internationally. Awards include Great Taste Awards, Taste of the West, and our bestseller ‘Gara’ has been awarded best organic coffee in the UK by the Soil Association.
