200g coffee beans.

The farm is located at above 1600 meters of elevation and is literally only a few meters away from the border to Honduras. Next to his farm Las Pilas is a river and on the other side of the river is Honduras!
He's got this lovely Pacamara in the fields and has also planted some geishas that we look forward to testing in the near future!
The lot we picked out for this CAN-release is cherry-dried (natural) and full of tropical fruits and sweetness. We sense peaches, strawberries, hubba-bubba-gum with a somewhat "yoghurtie-lactose-kinda-mouthfeel"

Head roaster message:

"Ignacios Pacamara truly represents the pinnacle of El Salvadorian Pacamara. Both in the way the tropical fruits are layered as well as the intensity level thereof. The flavour notes of peaches, strawberry and Hubba Bubba-gum just jumps at you from the cup!"

Roast process:

Pacamara can be difficult to roast if you’re new to it, especially when processed according to the natural method. The beans need enough heat early on to ensure proper inner bean development but also require a soft touch towards the first crack so as not to run away and become unnecessarily dark and bitter. Big beans and low density can cause a perfect storm for an uncontrolled roast profile so focus is a must.


Señor Ignacio Sosa

Chalatenango holds a special place in our hearts as it represents the start of our Lykke journey. The region has some of the countries best conditions to produce excellent coffees and a farmer that has really taken advantage of this is Ignacio Sosa.

His farm Las Pilas is situated at 1600 meters of elevation, right next to the border to Honduras. 2023 was the first year we had the privilege of meeting him and his family when they greeted us in their house for fresh fruits and coffee from the farm. The varieties Ignacio grows here are Pacamara and Geisha. On the property they've constructed a state-of-the-art drying house with elevated tables where they dry their freshly picked coffees safe and sound.

This particular lot of Pacamara stood out for us with its high intensity in flavours. The peaches and strawberry- notes just hit us in the face as we were surpling through the cups and left us with a huge smile on our faces. A smile to represent the sheer joy of being able to offer if here in Scandinavia, but as well since it represents the spark to a great relationship with Ignacio for many years to come!

500g of happiness in a bag. Please choose ground or wholebean in the drop down!

An easy-going coffee blend for the person that wants a hassle-free experience of just being happy. Or just prefers to stare absentmindedly into the cup, whatever.
Flavor Intensity: 4/5

We roast this coffee to work perfectly for a filter brew, whilst at the same time letting the coffees inside the blend shine with their full potential. The flavor profile is sweet and full-bodied thanks to the Brasilian coffee which is balanced with a freshness and fruitiness from the Peruvian beans. A dependable and easy to love cup, guaranteed to bring joy.

At the moment, Happiness contains coffee from Espirito Santo in Brazil and Agua de Nieves in Peru.

Brazil
Region: Bateia, Castelo -  Espirito Santo
Altitude: 800-1200 m
Process: So-called ’pulped natural’. Right after harvest, the cherries are peeled and separated from their pulp. After which they are dried with the soft highland breeze under the Brazilian sun.

Peru
Region: Agua de Nieves, Monobamba - Peru
Altitude: 1600-2100 m
Process: The coffee cherries are peeled of pulp and left to rest in their sugar mucilage for 24-36 h. During the rest, the sugar is dissolved during a fermentation process. Kind of like in a regular sourdough fermentation. After that, the berries are washed in fresh spring water before they are dried slowly.

Darkness is our hefty and rugged blend. An inclusive buddy that's at ease in the company of both cow and plant. You're simply free to enjoy this accepting coffee whenever however you like. 

In this blend, we have chosen green coffee that in itself has a bit more of a rugged style with inherent flavor notes like cocoa, pecans, and cookie dough. That means we get an intense flavor and mouthfeel, but with a taste of coffee rather than roast machine, as in some other dark roasts we know of.

Another benefit of this deeper coffee and the hunt for a perfect bean is that we have found a use for less than perfect beans. Beans that due to cosmetic factors such as size, might not make the cut, but that flavor-wise have no imperfections. We call these beans the farmers tail. If you will allow an analogy, think of it as using the whole spring onion, instead of just the greens, where every part adds its unique character. These beans need a bit more time and consideration, but when given the love they deserve, have tons to offer. 

For the burgeoning coffee nerd: Darkness is a small screen coffee, meaning that the bean size is 14/15 instead of the usual 16+, and is usually sold as lower quality coffee internally in Brazil and not exported. By buying this coffee and paying a better premium we are able to give our farmers a better and more stable income, as inevitably not all coffee makes the cut for high-grade specialty coffee. Together with our partners in Brazil, we have invested in a new color sorting machine for the dry mill, allowing us to remove defects with more accuracy and therefore make better use of the defect-free smaller beans.

We hope that Darkness will help you out of your dark moods and into the light. And who knows? Maybe in a few bags time, even a lighter roast. If you feel like it, and when you are ready.

Altitude: 900-1500 m

About OJ!

OJ! Is a way to say wow! in Swedish and it is also the reaction most people have to this coffee. If you talk to a coffee nerd, they may wax poetic about notes of chocolate, sweet, and incredibly well-rounded. OJ! Is the perfect brew for any given occasion. In the morning, the three-o-clock-fika or in the espresso grinder. We could talk about the coffee all day, but let’s also talk about the coffee farm cooperative from which it comes. The co-op lies on the border of Caparaó National park, a place with wonderfully pristine nature that creates a unique micro-climate for our coffee plants to grow. And finally, one of the biggest reasons to celebrate this coffee is our wonderful friends on the coffee farms. People whose passion and energy can also be tasted in the cup. It’s with this approach we process every unique harvest. It may sound complicated, and it is complicated. But all worth it, because it tastes so, so good.
