This coffee is from Brazil, specifically from the São Paulo region at 1400 meters altitude. Produced by Bob-o-link Cooperative Producers at Bob-o-link Cooperative Farms, it features Yellow Bourbon variety processed using the natural method. The Bob-o-link project emphasizes environmentally sustainable, organic coffee production and permaculture, with a focus on bird sanctuary preservation, water conservation, and interplanting to promote biodiversity and soil improvements. The flavor profile includes hazelnut cream, dried apricots, and 70% chocolate with yellow stonefruit notes balanced with caramelized, dark chocolate ganache.
Quo Coffee Roasters was founded in late 2024 in Skarhamn, Sweden, by Christian Gullbrandsson, Sarah Gerlam Madura, and Hayden Moyle, a team with more than 40 years of combined specialty coffee experience. The roastery sources 100 percent specialty grade coffee through direct trade, and became the first Nordic partner in Clean Ocean's sail freight initiative, shipping green coffee by sailboat to reduce its carbon footprint. Quo roasts to accentuate each bean's natural character, treating transparency and sustainability as foundational commitments rather than afterthoughts. The company's name is a challenge to the status quo, reflecting its founders' belief that the specialty coffee industry can do better on equity and environmental impact.
