I’m Alex, and what started in 2014 with a single coffee van (and a dream) has now become West Berkshire Roastery - complete with two coffee roasters and a Labrador who thinks he’s the CEO.
Along the way, I discovered that coffee is one big, tangled mess - dodgy practices and shady tactics all over the place. But there’s also a whole lot of amazing farmers doing it right. So, I ditched the usual suspects and set off on a quest for the good stuff: direct-traded coffees served with a generous side of transparency.
With some caffeine-fuelled creativity, I’m here to bring you one of the finest (and cleanest) coffee experiences possible. It’s coffee refreshingly drama free.

KI-SAYA is a specially curated organic washed coffee first launched by Covoya in 2024. Sourced from smallholder farmers in Chiapas, each lot of Ki-Saya is carefully profiled by our QC team at origin to ensure consistent high quality in the cup.
The flower, Plumberia rubra, is native to Chiapas. The legend behind the flower is that it represents immortality for its ability to thrive in the harshest conditions. Ki-Saya links the effort of its coffee growers and conserves the combination of culture and power of the land. The name comes from the combination of 'Ki' which means "tasty" and 'Saayab' which means "nature" in Mayan.
Chiapas, Mexico’s southernmost state, boasts a diverse tapestry of culture, history, and natural wonders, with its coffee region being just one facet of its charm. Nestled in the Sierra Madre de Chiapas mountain range, this region is a classical paradise, offering breathtaking landscapes including lush rainforests, cascading waterfalls, and ancient Mayan ruins.
In Chiapas, 44% of the population is indigenous: Mayan, Tzotzil ant Tzeltal. These vibrant indigenous cultures have thrived in Chiapas for centuries and continue traditions of music, dance, and artisan crafts. The people wear beautiful handmade clothes, the men dressing in short pants tied with a red cotton belt and a shirt that hangs down to their knees. They also wear leather huaraches and a hat decorated with ribbons. Women wear a red skirt, a short huipil blouse, and use a shawl to carry their babies and bundles.
