About Boost Coffee Co. Roasters
Boost Coffee Co. are a new adventurous coffee roaster in the Forest of Dean, UK. Returning from New Zealand with an appetite for speciality coffee, partners Rach and Adam decided that they wanted to steer away from their previous careers and combine their two passions of cycling and coffee. They embarked on their coffee adventure serving espresso out of a beautiful 1980s trailer. The plan was to establish themselves in the coffee scene with a view to at some point delve into the world of coffee roasting. As Covid hit, they had to adapt. With the mobile coffee bar now taking a back seat, Rach and Adam decided to fast forward their roasting plans and transform Boost coffee. Their ethos of using coffee as a vehicle to take people on an adventure is something that we can relate to here at Batch. Their drive and agility during the pandemic is a testament to the couple’s character. Boost has a unique concept of showcasing 3 coffees at one time in Batches. Rach spends her time cupping various coffees and curating 3 that will complement each other in a way that will take her customers on a coffee journey. Cycling and coffee go hand in hand. Middle-aged men packed into brightly coloured lycra shorts sipping an espresso is a fairly common sight outside a coffee shop. Boost coffee are utilizing this relationship by naming their coffees after various cycling phrases. We spoke to the co-founder of Boost Coffee, Rach about how it all happened.

Coffee Origin
The Bom Jesus from Boost coffee roasters originates from the Alta Mogiana Region of Brazil.
Fazenda Bom Jesus coffee farm is the work of the couple Gabriel and Flavia Lancha Oliveira. With a long heritage in coffee culture both are grandchildren of coffee producers.
They themselves passed their love and care on to their sons, Lucas and Gabriel junior who are also dedicated full-time to the farm. In 1984 they formed The Labareda Group, diversifying into various rural activities although coffee is still the most foremost in family hearts and indeed remains their main crop.
What To Expect
During my coffee journey, I’ve found coffee brewing to be a real source of relaxation, brewing became a sort of meditation, intrigued by the intricacies of taste and the journey that you embark on even just within one bag of coffee. Roasting led on from there, spurred on by Covid and a lack of events, I realised that I wanted to be a larger part of the process of the resulting cup, rather than just shaping the form of the coffee in the cup, I wanted to craft it from the green bean all the way to the cup!
