Harvested: September 2025 Taste notes: Bold with notes of dark chocolate and roasted hazelnuts "Our version of a Swedish ”mellanrost”. This coffee came to us through collaboration with a few of our wholesale friends in Gothenburg. Much like us they did not want to compromise in quality or sustainability while supporting small-holder producers. But their customers asked for something more ”familiar” and bold to finish off their meal. Together we started looking for a coffee from a family estate in Brazil. Next, we tried roasting it different than usual. Longer total time. Darker end temperature than our filter roasts, lighter than our espressos.  The result? Our version of Swedish ”mellanrost”: A coffee that we gladly share with friends and family who want the familiarity of a profile they know and love, while also enjoying the comfort of knowing their coffee was grown in healthy soil, by people caring for their produce and getting paid for their labour." Whole roasted coffee beans.
