Paper Cup Coffee

Paper Cup, local flavor meets expert roasting in Valencia

The coffee was roasted by Paper Cup Coffee, an up-and-coming roaster based in Valencia, Spain.

Valencia isn’t just known for its sunshine – it’s quickly becoming a haven for specialty coffee too. Tucked into this vibrant city is Paper Cup, a new roaster and café where attention to detail meets serious flavor.

One of their current gems is the Lavado Guatemala. Grown in the southern highlands of Guatemala and washed for clarity, this 100% Arabica delivers a clean, sweet cup. With tasting notes of milk chocolate, caramel, and berries, it’s vibrant yet balanced - perfect for both newcomers and coffee nerds alike. Whether you go with a V60 pour-over or a classic espresso, it shines.

But what really made my visit special? Their horchata latte. A refreshing local twist, it pairs espresso with creamy, cinnamon-kissed horchata for a summer-ready drink that’s both nostalgic and bold.

If you’re in Valencia, don’t miss Paper Cup. Specialty coffee, a hint of local flavor, and a whole lot of charm.
