About This Coffee

This coffee is from the Los Quetzales farm managed by Yerin Sagastume, the youngest brother in the Sagastume family who has been producing coffee for several decades. The lot consists of the Pacas variety. When harvested, cherries are immediately taken to the family's washing station where washing and drying begins the same day. The coffee is continuously turned during drying to ensure even processing. The flavor profile features grapefruit, cherry, and sour-candy notes.

Love Coffee

Daniel and Peter have been working in specialty coffee since the early 2000s and founded Love Coffee in Lund in 2009. For the first six years, the operation was roastery only, before a coffee bar opened in central Lund in autumn 2015. They roast on a 25 kilo Diedrich drum roaster, their third machine and always an American built Diedrich, which allows 100 percent manual control over every profile. Each bag is packed by hand within 30 minutes of roasting, and every week the team runs sensory analysis on the previous week's output to keep profiles tight. Love Coffee now supplies over 50 cafes, restaurants, and offices and delivers personally to local clients each week. Sources include farms in Ethiopia, Costa Rica, and the Cerrado Mineiro region of Brazil, with selections rotating seasonally. A quote painted outside the cafe captures the ethos: Filter Coffee not People.
