Hayling Island Coffee Society (HICS) is a small speciality roastery on Hayling Island in Hampshire, founded and run by Alicia Hewitt. The focus is Latin American coffee, with current offerings spanning Brazil (Fazenda Inhame) and Mexico (Sunset Decaf), alongside two house blends called Island Blend and Volcano Island Blend.
The roastery sells direct through its online shop and welcomes wholesale enquiries. HICS describes its range as a curated selection of speciality Latin American coffee from fully traceable routes, suggesting a sourcing approach built around provenance and producer relationships.
The site keeps its story understated: a single-operator business with a clear regional origin focus rather than a sprawling multi-continent line-up. Customers buy direct via hics.biz, and trade enquiries go through [email protected].
