Where We Source Our Green Coffee

This is probably the part of coffee that matters to us the most.

Before we think about roasting, we think about the green coffee — where it comes from, who grew it and the people behind it.

We want to buy coffee from farmers and producers we know. Ideally, we've met them and visited their farms, walked around, seen how they work and sat down for a coffee together. When travelling to origin isn't possible, we want to at least have a direct relationship with the producer and be able to talk to them ourselves.

We don't want the coffee to disappear somewhere between a spreadsheet, a trading company and a shipping container. We want to know the person who produced it and understand the work behind it.

We want to know where the coffee comes from. Who grew it. What variety it is. How it was processed. What they are trying to achieve. And what we can do on our side to show that work properly in the cup.

We believe good green coffee starts with good relationships.

And good relationships should be good for both sides.

If a farmer produces something exceptional and asks for a higher price, we're happy to pay it. We'd rather pay more for amazing coffee and build a relationship that lasts than save a few kronor and treat coffee like another commodity.

We're also not interested in buying only the coffees that everybody already knows.

Give us an unusual origin.

Give us a variety nobody has heard of.

Show us something weird.

That's where we get excited.

There is still an enormous amount of green coffee in the world that most of us haven't discovered yet.

We want to meet the people growing it, taste what they're producing and bring some of it home.
