ETHIOPIA LALO ESPRESSO

Ivan Penyora built this Kyiv based roastery on seventeen years of studying coffee growing and processing across producing countries. The focus is on sourcing distinctive lots and developing unique flavor profiles through careful processing and roasting, with offerings that range from bright fruit forward coffees to deeper, more complex profiles with notes of dark chocolate and liqueur. Penyora invests in the latest roasting technology and imports small, characterful farmer lots that reflect specific terroir and variety. The company won the 2025 Ukrainian Business Award, recognizing its standing both domestically and internationally. Ivan's stated philosophy is straightforward: sincerity and quality in every cup, with no interest in chasing trends for their own sake.
