COLOMBIA - BLOSSOM HOUSE INFUSIONADO

Borja Rosello, a former chef, founded Dalston Coffee in 2017 in Barcelona's Raval neighborhood. The name comes from the Dalston district in East London where Borja worked and first discovered specialty coffee after tasting a flat white that struck him as an entirely different kind of drink. The roastery operates from a separate facility in La Garriga outside Barcelona, supplying the shop alongside coffees from guest roasters like Five Elephant and Koppi. Equipment runs La Marzocco espresso and Mahlkonig grinders. The packaging, redesigned six years after opening with illustrator Lourenco Providencia, depicts each product as a single house, with the full range forming a colorful neighborhood. The space itself is small and plant filled, built around good music and an informal atmosphere.
