About St Martins Coffee Roasters
St Martins are the Leicester based coffee roaster with big ambitions.
They have been around since 2010, they were the first coffee roaster in Leicester and have been growing with the speciality coffee industry ever since.
When speaking to Ole from St Martins it always feels as though something special is happening in the Midlands.
When I asked Ole about what sets St Martins apart from others: We pride ourselves on trying to be the least speciality, speciality roastery. What we mean by that, is we don’t want anyone to feel alienated or intimidated by our ground coffee or specialty coffee in general, something I think the industry is often guilty of.

Coffee Origin
The Comsa Finca La Colmena coffee from St Martins Coffee roasters originates from Honduras.
Dilcia Bautista has been with Comsa for 15 years. Her farm Finca La Colmena which means beehive.
The farm is 9 manzanas (6.3 hectares) but only uses 5 manzanas (3.5 hectares) for coffee. A lot of the farm is kept for wildlife, and she has 25 beehives and dozens more burrowing bees, as well as a garden of red flowers she keeps just for the hummingbirds.
She also keeps goats, chickens, and turkeys on the farm, which all produce organic fertiliser.
Diversification has been a big part of staying in business. She grows a lot of different varietals on her farm including Maragogype, which has been cupping so well they have sent it to be analysed. Washed, honey and natural coffees are all created on her farm and turns in 120 quintales (5500kg) of parchment to the coop each year.
Dilcia also grows a lot of sugarcane on her farm, and all the by products from turning it into sugar gets composted and used as fertiliser.
