​Löfbergs’s new coffee strengthens young coffee farmers

Good coffee cannot be taken for granted as fewer and fewer young people see a future as coffee farmers. Löfbergs wants to change that. The family-owned coffee roaster presents a new coffee with beans from Ana-Maria and other young farmers in Antioquia in north-western Colombia, combined with carefully selected Arabica beans from Brazil.

In Canada, Löfbergs will launch three varieties of Swedish Fika: Medium Roast, Organic and Dark Roast.

It goes especially well together with a cinnamon roll or a raw food cookie with chocolate and raspberries.
