Christmas Coffee
Our Christmas Coffee begins its journey in Brazil and Honduras, with producers who are as committed to sustainability and quality as we are. Filled with deep chocolate tones, and a hint of dried fruits, it’s the entire Christmas in a cup.
From Brazil, the beans are sourced from two producers - the Naimeg family at Fazenda Pantano and Fazenda Dois Irmãos, led by the dedicated Sanchez family. In Honduras, we partner with Benjamin Paz, a notable figure in the Honduran coffee industry.
The Sanchez family have been nurturing their farm Fazenda Dois Irmãos in the Cerrado Mineiro region for over 30 years. Today it’s with the daughter Maria Gabriela at the forefront who is seamlessly blending tradition with innovation. Known for their commitment to natural processed coffee and focus on regenerative agriculture, they’re pioneers in ethical and traceable farming practices.
The Naimeg family, who have been in the coffee business for nearly 60 years, now run Fazenda Pantano. Besides coffee, they also grow vegetables, manage livestock, and produce their own cheese. After moving from Paraná due to several years of frost damage, they restarted in this region. Their resilience is evident as they’ve overcome challenges such as rebuilding their processing station after a devastating fire. They aim for self-sufficiency with initiatives like solar power and the production of organic fertiliser.
Benjamin Paz is the proud owner of two coffee farms and collaborates with many small-scale farmers in the high-altitude Santa Barbara region of northwestern Honduras. This area benefits from a unique micro-climate often shrouded in dense mist, which protects the coffee trees from excessive sunlight and slows cherry maturation. The result is an exceptionally sweet cup profile. At his own farms, Benjamin cultivates rare varieties for Honduras, including Panamanian Geisha and SL-28. Beyond his own farming, Benjamin plays a key role in Beneficio San Vicente, his family’s dry mill and export business. This business has been pivotal in promoting Santa Barbara as a premier coffee region and supporting local farmers to achieve success in competitions like the Cup of Excellence.
From all of us, to your cup. Enjoy our Christmas coffee and taste the dedication and passion behind it. This is more than just coffee, it’s a Christmas tradition.

The coffee in this bag is, like all our coffee, of the highest quality - also known as specialty coffee. This means that it has scored over 80 points on a 100-point scale. To achieve such high scores, farmers need to take meticulous care of their farms and coffee trees. We only purchase truly excellent coffee at a fair price, as it's through the demand for quality that we can lead the way forward for the coffee industry. When the coffee reaches us, our super-skilled roast masters take care of it and delicately roast it at our roastery outside Stockholm. In this bag, it's prepared according to our most festive recipe and roasting profile. We strongly believe that high quality is the future of coffee and that together we can create a better coffee world!

Soft gingerbread cake with coffee glaze
Soft gingerbread cake with coffee glaze is a cake that I will bake frequently here at home. You know, when the whole family grabs a piece and before you know it, it's gone. Of course, there's coffee in both the batter and the glaze. Coffee glaze, that's something else." /Linn

Frequently asked questions
The Christmas coffee is a classic filter coffee, and it's available both pre-ground and as whole beans, so you can brew it just the way you like! If you're looking for our go-to recipes and best dosing tips, you'll find them among our brewing guides.
Well, the question might actually be "how can other coffee cost half as much as your coffee?" A very large portion of the coffee produced in the world is not sustainable. For coffee to be priced as low as it is in the grocery store, the green coffee beans undoubtedly need to have been purchased at a very low price. In most cases, at a price where coffee producers can't make any profit on their product, or in the worst cases, even lose money. The coffee we purchase is of higher quality (specialty coffee), but we also pay a higher price for it, often far above the market price. Feel free to learn more about our purchasing philosophy and our Direct Trade efforts; I hope that answers your question.
To fairly compare and evaluate coffee quality worldwide, the Specialty Coffee Association (SCA) has developed a 100-point scale. Any coffee scoring 80 points or above qualifies as speciality coffee. Reaching 80 points or more requires the coffee to possess various attributes, and the more complex the flavours and aromas, the higher the score. Read more about specialty grade coffee here.
We know that we buy coffee in a responsible way, trust our producers, and feel that our customers trust us. However, we still want to have it verified by an independent third party.
Enveritas is a non-profit organization (NPO) that works with coffee producers worldwide. Their mission is to shed light on and improve their conditions and livelihoods while advocating for sustainability in the coffee industry – two aspects that go hand in hand. Their work is based on the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and is funded by us – the roaster – the individual coffee farmer does not need to pay anything. Enveritas also identifies and highlights gaps in the various certifications that exist in the coffee industry today.
In addition to working directly with farmers, Enveritas provides assistance to buyers and roasters in finding coffee that has been sustainably and ethically grown – this part is called Enveritas Verified. It's beneficial for anyone who wants to contribute to a better world!
The absolute most important thing for us is that coffee production is sustainable, all the way. It starts with the plant, which thrives in fertile and nutrient-rich soil, surrounded by diverse vegetation. In short, it's a nature that grows and lives freely, not dictated by mass production. Those who truly understand this, who know their environment and coffee cultivation, are our producers. Individuals who, just like us, share the passion for coffee that grows, harvested, and is processed with love!
Bags filled with the finest green coffee arrive at our facility in Länna, where we take on the responsibility for sustainable and gentle treatment. Our roasters are powered by biogas, and we utilize hydropower in production – small but vital steps to minimize our footprint. Even the final step, the delivery to our customers, is done in partnership with a company that offsets 100% of the carbon footprint.
We care about our planet and collaborate with producers and partners who share the same values. Now and always!
