Coffee and tea

Do you enjoy a really good cup of artisan coffee? If so, you should visit the little roastery I’m Coffee (swe), External link, opens in new window. the delightful aroma of which spreads across Slottsmöllan. The roastery is run by Alpha Ousmane Sow, who has a wealth of experience of coffee in all its forms. Among other places, he sources his coffee beans from his own plantation in Guinea, where he oversees the harvest every year. The beans are then shipped to Halmstad, where he roasts them to perfection in order to offer his own delicious specialty coffees. Buy whole or ground beans, sit down in the coffee bar or book a tasting to experience the subtle differences for yourself. In addition to coffee, the company also produces a range of fresh teas named after Alpha’s wife, Ida.

Slöinge Kafferosteri (swe) External link, opens in new window. is another small roastery situated in the village of Slöinge, which produces wonderful specialty coffees.
