Two weeks that algrano launched at the Nordic World of Coffee event in Gothenburg! What is happening largely exceeds our expectations! We cannot be happier for these first two weeks! We want to share these great news with all of you and thank you for your support!
In less than a week about 80 roasters from all over the world signed up on algrano! We received compliments from South Africa through to Norway from roasters who believe in this new way of sourcing coffee! And not only roasters are excited about algrano. Looking at the newsfeed on algrano, I can see pictures from producers from Nicaragua, Colombia, Brazil and even Ethiopia Have a look at this beautiful picture posted by Eufrasio Lima, a smallholder from Bahia, Brazil, for this year’s harvest. Fantastic! Thank you Eufrasio! The community is only two weeks old but growers understand the power of the community! More social features coming soon!
The first online container is live and we’ll be sending samples to German and Swiss roasters this week! A bunch of roasters already confirmed their interest and trust for algrano by ordering the first samples online. This is great, thank you for your early support! Let’s make this sourcing dream possible, together! There is mixed assortment of coffees in this first container with scores ranging from 81 to 87. Juan Ramon from the Finca la Dueña presents a micro lot which was among the National Winners of the Cup of Excellence competition this year. “Wow Finca la Dueña? I bought this coffee last year when he won the Cup of Excellence!”, told us Kentaro Maruyama, the famous Japanese roaster, in Gothenburg.
Say what? You just launch and you get the award for the best IT and Technology Innovation at a major world coffee event?? Oh yes, we did it! We would like to thank here the Specialty Coffee Association of Europe and its jury for acknowledging algrano’s efforts to bring an innovative concept to the specialty coffee scene. This award represents a lot to us who have been working on and dreaming about this project for almost two years now! Thank you!
It was truly great to meet you roasters, growers, importers and exporters in Gothenburg! We are thrilled! Let’s make this happen!
