Kaffebox – May 19 Box Preview: Coffea Circulor

Now it’s finally time for the next KaffeBox, we’ve finally caught up with the date! Let’s go with the May 19 box!

This will be the 17th time for KaffeBox, you can read the most previous post here.

The coffee comes from the Norwegian roastery Coffea Circulor. Next week we will review coffee from Ethiopia and Rwanda. Just look at the bags, they are so beautiful!

As usual, I start with an informative text about the coffees:

Coffea Circulor, Norway.

Expectation:
I’m again satisfied with the treatment being natural-processed. I’m not as interested in this coffee as the one above. But I have some sort of belief regarding this roastery. I really believe in their expertise!

Conclusion: It’s my first time trying coffee from Coffea Circulor, but reading their descriptions and see how they think just makes me believe in them. They sound so knowledgable and experienced that makes me very comfortable to try them out.

As usual, I always wish to give a respectful greeting to KaffeBox, which allows us to get together with coffee from all over Scandinavia so that we can see how we roast differently and at the same time give us the best coffee from there. As a Swede, I hope we support our wonderful neighbors and continue to subscribe.

The Ethiopian coffee just sounds heavenly, I’m looking forward for that one!
