This coffee is from the Toba region of Sumatra, Indonesia, produced by Bang Silalahi and his community of farmers who specialize in single-varietal nanolots. The farm is organically certified. The Catimor variety is hand-picked at full ripeness and processed using an Anaerobic Washed Fruit Enzyme Process under the supervision of CQI-licensed Q Grader and Q Processor. The coffee has a score of 85 and features flavor notes of yellow melon, candy, jelly, honey, and apple.
Spojka Roastery was founded in December 2022 in Prešov, filling a gap for a dedicated specialty roastery in eastern Slovakia. Head roaster and owner Viktor Štefančík is a former barista who regularly represented Prešov coffee shops at the Slovak national championship and competed at the world level, bringing that competition trained palate to his selection and roasting of green coffee. The team targets coffees scoring around 85 points on the SCAA scale and has been steadily sourcing higher scored lots as the operation grows. Their modern cafe near the Torysa river doubles as a roasting space where visitors can watch the process, taste the results, and take packets of freshly roasted beans home.
