Together we want to challenge the traditional fika. At Johan & Nyström, we do it with craft roasted specialty coffee. Naima does it with fika which empowers the body. Today, we proudly launch two raw snacks together.

 

First up, the Naima Chokladboll, made with one of our favourite coffees at Johan & Nyström. This coffee comes from the Croce family and FAF Coffees in Brazil, where a mix of Bourbon, Mundo Novo, and Catuai varieties is carefully processed using the natural method. The result is a fruity and complex flavour profile, but it requires careful attention – something that the team at really FAF has!  

 The Croce family is committed to sustainability, making their farm, Fazenda Ambiental Fortaleza, a sanctuary for both people and the environment. They realized that their efforts were limited if their neighbors didn't also change their ways, so they formed a network of like-minded coffee producers who prioritize quality and sustainability. Today, FAF Coffees include a network of farmers, a center for coffee studies and an export company that transports coffee all over the world. Since 2010, we have been proud to source coffee from the Croce family, a relationship that aligns perfectly with our purchasing philosophy and Direct Trade program.

Our second snack is the Matcha Cheesecake, made by Naima using  Modest Matcha from Dear Tea Society. Matcha is a unique and versatile ingredient that maximizes the flavour and health benefits of green tea leaves. The organic Modest Matcha is a delight in itself, full of antioxidants!

At Johan & Nyström, we believe that combining the best of both worlds can lead to incredible creations, and these two snacks are no exception. These products will be available in our coffee bars but also for other cafes, hotels, restaurants and offices via Naima and their outlets.

Our philosophy is to always offer coffee of the highest quality at the right price and to have long and close relationships with our producers. When circumstances beyond our control make this difficult, we review the range and our products to make the necessary adjustments.

Christmas. Besides crack, Donald Duck, seven kinds of herring and Silent Night, Christmas is a lot about caring. An opportunity to stop in the middle of the mess and think a little extra about our fellow human beings - both those close to us and those we may not even know. 

From all of us to a coffee producer

We, Johan & Nyström, also usually take the opportunity to give a little extra like this at Christmas time. Several of our coffee producers, with whom we have long and close relationships, operate in countries and areas that have to struggle in a different way than most of us here in the Nordics have to do. Being able to contribute a little extra together with you, our customers and coffee enthusiasts, therefore feels very good!

The coffee berries are sorted in the evening

The coffee growers in Burundi work all day picking coffee berries on their farms. When evening comes, they take the day's harvest to the Long Miles washing station where the berries are to be sorted, washed and then dried. By this time it has gotten dark and lighting is needed at the sorting tables so they can see which berries are of the right quality and which need to be removed. This process of course requires electricity! So do water pumps and other machines, such as those that separate the beans from the pulp.

Electricity - a scarce commodity

Today, diesel generators are used to get electricity, and since it is difficult to get hold of fuel, operation becomes very unreliable. The fuel is also expensive and environmentally unsustainable!

Solar cells - a way forward!

Together with Long Miles, we have started a project where we will build solar cells on the roof of the washing station. Thanks to the energy the sun can then generate, operation will be both more stable and cheaper. And at the same time better for the environment!

SEK 20 per kilo of Christmas coffee sold goes to the project

For us at Johan & Nyström, the coffee producers are the most important we have and it feels great to be able to give a little extra this Christmas. And the best thing of all is that you also join in and contribute! The more Christmas coffee we sell in 2022 the closer the Long Miles Coffee Project in Burundi gets bright, sustainable evenings.

 

The first roast in June 2017 marked the start of our new roastery in County, south of Stockholm, which has been made custom-built coffee roasting process also house our green coffee storage,

The dream of building the most modern speciality coffee roastery in Europe was more than a ladold once it was finally.., as we started dreaming of this quite soon after Johan & Nyström was started back in 2004. Our first roastery, the inin Tullinge south of Stockholm, started out small with a tiny room for a small roaster, a hand-packing station, and a desk for admin work. With the rapid growth of Johan & Nyström and our speciality coffee revolution, we're curious account to! There was lots of charm, the word, clearance and the "thermal events" (a.k.a. fires).

Soon enough, we know that the old factory building had its physical limitations and that our dreams were much more. So, we started planning for building the roastery that would define Johan & Nyström for this and coming generations of coffee lovers, big words but in our but in our view, this was the only roastery dream worth dreaming.

Our Head of Production Joakim Ahlund has actually been the whole roastery process, in MS Paint.

After many years of planning, we could finally start building Europe's most modern speciality coffee roastery in 2016 and completed the task by mid-2017. The ambition was not only to move our production and team to a new facility, but to enable an immediate immediate doubling of coffee-ing since we had been given the ' s for all of Espresso House's coffee, I some 1 million-500 cafés, and to prepare the roastery for doubling these combined s many times over in the coming years and I am.

As a deal, we want the roastery to be an open and I place that, the teamwork that is essential for speciality coffee with a strong connection to our accession to our deposit in origins across the world.

• Full Next Full With every new roast batch : every 12 minutes a roast batch is completed and a new one starts, for which we have full blocks to blend green beans before or after roasting, send beans to any roaster, use the grinder or bypass for whole beans, and send any batch to any of our packaging machines. This fully-fully-filled for every batch and that's to always roast the coffee on orders and freshly roasted coffee.

• Full, full, of every coffee bean's journey : with our transport systems we have, all manual document steps while also the 'lots of checkpoints with data capture along the way so that we can trace any green coffees and roast batches in' in minute detail.

• Full transparency along the roasting process : all the more can follow the roasting process and interact with the production staff, there are no hidden steps.

For a Inquisitor, we want you to feel The roastery has the daily life from customers, partners, coffees and coffee-interested people. Some come for the experience, some to be 'on espresso', some come to coffee blends and some to help us develop further-but all should leave with fond roastery, tasted great coffee and met some truly passionate coffers.

How do you pack one of the world's most expensive coffee in a way that clearly conveys the exceptional quality? In connection with today's very limited release of Los Lajones Geisha from Panama, we also launch a brand new design that does just that. Curious about the creative process and the way there?
