Lehmus Roastery
Lappeenranta, Finland
Specialty coffee roastery founded in 2016 in a century-old brick warehouse (a former horse stable) on the shore of Lake Saimaa in Lappeenranta. Voted Finland's best roastery at the Helsinki Coffee Festival in 2017, 2018 and 2020, roasting only specialty-graded, responsibly sourced coffee across a full range from light filter roasts to dark espresso. In 2018 the roastery took over Satamatie 6, an adjoining café, factory shop and event space in the same warehouse (also voted Finland's best café in 2018 and 2020), where customers can watch roasting on the Giesen roaster, buy beans fresh from the source, and eat and drink on site.

A two-origin blend of natural Brazilian and washed Peruvian lots, medium-roasted with enough body to double as espresso — nutty and milk-chocolate flavors, light acidity and a velvety, creamy mouthfeel.

From the five-hectare Sítio Santa Catarina, planted in 1983 by Alexandre Silva's father and farmed since with Rodrigo Pimenta — a farm Lehmus has bought specialty microlots from every year since a 2019 visit.

Sweet and full-bodied with dried fruit, toffee, citrus and a candy-like finish. Source: lehmusroastery.com.

From the Intango washing station on the shores of Lake Kivu in Rwanda's Western Province — coffee grown by eleven farmers with disabilities on a half-hectare community plot established alongside the station five years ago.
