Quo Coffee
Skärhamn, Sweden
Quo Coffee is a specialty roastery in the seaside town of Skärhamn on the island of Tjörn, launched in December 2024 by Christian Gullbrandsson, Sarah Gerlam Madura and Hayden Moyle — a team with more than 40 years of combined specialty-coffee experience. Quo sets out to challenge the status quo of both commercial and specialty coffee through transparency and real sustainability, and is among the first roasters globally to join Belco’s sail-freight initiative. The roastery sits right on the marina and opens to visitors through the summer.

Quo's second year with Aman Adinew's Metad: a natural compilation of native heirloom and JARC varieties from Metad's 200-hectare semi-forest farm in the Alaka and Bishan Fugu kebeles of Hambela Wamena. Each plot is planted to a single variety, the farm is organically managed and hand-picked, and cherries dry for three to four weeks on raised beds above 2,000 m. Sourced through Metad and Belco; sold as whole beans in 200 g or 1 kg.
From the wetmill in the village of Chelbesa at the heart of the Yirgacheffe appellation, over 2,000 m above sea level.
Fresh harvest. Quo has worked with Sandra and her husband Héctor for a decade, visiting the farm over the years; both are dedicated to quality and grow mainly Caturra and Tabi.
One of the juiciest Kenyan coffees Quo has found in a while. The Karumandi station works collaboratively with the local cooperative’s producers, providing supportive, regenerative and emergency funding.
