About This Coffee

This single-origin coffee is sourced from 500 smallholder farmers in the Guji region who deliver their cherry to Hadeso washing station. The coffee is grown at 1850-2100 meters above sea level and features JARC varieties. The cherries are selectively hand-harvested and pulped within 6 to 8 hours after harvesting. The coffee undergoes washed processing with fermentation in tanks for 36 to 48 hours with frequent water replacement. After washing and grading in channels to remove all mucilage, the parchment is dried on raised beds under parabolic shade nets for 5 to 7 days. The flavor profile is sweet and tea-like with notes of cranberry, apricot, and lemon zest.

Da Matteo

Matts Johansson opened Da Matteo in Gothenburg in July 2007 as a small cafe serving simple Italian food. The operation has since grown into one of the city's most recognized specialty coffee institutions. The roastery at Magasinsgatan processes approximately 150 tonnes of specialty coffee per year, sourced directly from farmers in Guatemala, Colombia, Brazil, Ethiopia, Kenya, and beyond. Roasting leans light to medium, aiming to let the natural character of each bean come through. An in house bakery produces sourdough bread, cinnamon buns, and pastries daily using organic flour and long fermentation. With 60 staff across multiple Gothenburg locations and a wholesale program supplying cafes, restaurants, and offices throughout Sweden, Da Matteo has become the anchor of Gothenburg's specialty coffee scene.
