About Amaya Roasting Co
Amaya Roasting Co. (registered as Amaya Roasting Co. LLC) is a small-batch specialty coffee roaster based in Houston, Texas, serving both retail consumers and commercial accounts.

About
Amaya Coffee — registered with the Better Business Bureau as Amaya Roasting Co. LLC — operates out of Houston, Texas, where it has built a small-batch roasting operation serving both retail consumers and commercial accounts. The roastery's founding date and founder are not publicly documented, but it has established a presence in Houston's specialty coffee scene through its focus on single-origin sourcing and balanced roast profiles.
The company supplies coffee to cafes and home brewers across the Houston area. According to its BBB profile, it specializes in the roasting and manufacturing of coffee for residential and commercial use — a dual-channel approach that places its beans in local coffee shops as well as direct-to-consumer sales.
Amaya sources green coffee from a focused set of origins: Burundi, El Salvador, Colombia, and Costa Rica, as noted by the Houston Press in a roundup of the city's boutique roasters. The roastery describes its approach as highlighting nuance and seeking balance across sweetness, acidity, and depth — language consistent with a light-to-medium roast orientation common in specialty-focused small-batch operations. It works directly with farmers, exporters, and importers rather than buying through commodity channels.

Coffee & Beans Review
The Houston Press included Amaya in its guide to the city's boutique coffee roasters, citing its sourcing across four distinct growing regions spanning Central Africa and Latin America. On the enthusiast forum Home-Barista.com, one user who encountered Amaya's coffee at a local cafe reported that the espresso was "very good" — a brief but pointed endorsement from an audience known for high standards and blunt assessments. Coverage otherwise remains limited to local and trade directories.
Amaya sells online through its website at amayacoffee.com, making its small-batch roasts available beyond Houston. Customers looking for a local Houston roaster with a tight origin roster and an emphasis on cup balance will find the catalog worth exploring, particularly for anyone interested in Burundian or Central American lots.
