Advent Calendar

For each Sunday as Christmas draws closer

Advent marks the four Sundays leading up to Christmas. In Denmark, each one is celebrated by lighting a new candle, with time set aside for gathering and sharing with those closest to us.

Our Advent Calendar follows the same rhythm: four coffees, one for each Sunday. Each has been selected from producers and farms we have worked closely with throughout the year, offering a glimpse into the people and the work behind the cup.

Café Granja La Esperanza, Colombia

The Herrera family at Café Granja La Esperanza grows coffee at Finca Potosí, on the steep slopes of the Andes in Valle del Cauca, Colombia. Over several generations, the family has developed its own variety, Mandela, starting from Caturra plants and later crossing them with Timor Hybrid and Ethiopian landrace material.

The family also grows Pink Bourbon on a small 2.39-hectare plot. This lot is a competition selection, double-fermented and processed as a natural, with notes of strawberry, red apple and cacao nibs. Alongside it is a natural Mandela, fermented in open tanks for 48 hours and slow-dried, with notes of blueberry, plum and stone fruit.
