This coffee is from Bolivia, specifically from the Caranavi region, grown at 1550 meters above sea level. The farm, El Arcángel, was founded in 2015 with its first harvest in 2017. The coffee is Caturra variety and honey processed. Known for careful separation of red and yellow cherries, enabling unique flavor development. The farm's name is inspired by a majestic tree that once stood at its highest point. Scored 86/100. Flavor notes include nougat, nutty, round, and sweet.
Kaj and Dan founded Haella around 2019 in Vastaras, setting up a micro roastery inside the Halla Shopping center. The format is intentionally accessible: specialty coffee in a place people already go, rather than tucked away in an industrial zone. They roast weekly, favoring light profiles at temperatures between 185 and 210 degrees Celsius, with most batches finishing in 8 to 11 minutes. What sets Haella apart is the hands on experience it offers. Customers can book sessions where they learn about coffee, taste multiple varieties, and roast their own beans, with food and fika included. Everything is built around the idea that each bean carries a distinct character and story worth discovering.
