Lykke Coffee Farms

Lykke Coffee Farms, co-owned coffee farms

The coffee was roasted by Lykke Coffee Farms, a roaster from Sweden.

When they started Lykke they wanted to run a coffee company without hurting people or the planet, and that has been their guiding principle ever since.

They knew they had to do things differently. So they took charge of the entire process -> growing, sourcing, and roasting their own coffee. Their goal is simple: to improve the coffee industry so that even 50 years from now, we can all enjoy an honest, delicious cup of coffee. For them it is about letting the people who matter most - the coffee farmers - take the lead. They believe that is the only way real change can happen. They co-own their farms and their company together with the farmers. By cutting out middlemen, they ensure no one is left behind, and nothing is harmed in the process. That way, we can all feel good about every cup we drink.

For this particular brew, the aim is to bring out as much natural sweetness as possible, which requires a deeper, longer roast. Too light, and the coffee won’t develop its sweetness, too dark, and it loses its distinctive character. These farms are situated in the Caparaó Valley, right on the border of the National Park, where the untouched natural surroundings create a unique microclimate that is ideal for growing coffee.
