MORGON COFFEE ROASTERS | SWEDEN – Café d’origine COLOMBIE – Sandra MILENA MORA

About Morgon Coffee Roaters ⟶

Morgon Coffee Roasters fut créé à Göteborg à l’été 2018. Bien que Morgon soit encore une entreprise relativement jeune, l’équipe, composée de Gabriella Runesson, Christian Gullbrandsson et Markus Vestergaard, possède près de 40 ans d’expérience dans le travail du café : gestion d’une torréfaction, bars à café, conférences sur le café, formation de baristas, conseil en café et compétitions dans la plupart des domaines du café.

L’équipe a remporté une médaille de bronze en torréfaction, deux d’argent en brassage et deux médailles d’or en dégustation. Sur la scène internationale, elle a réussi à se classer parmi les huit premiers demi-finalistes de la Coupe du monde des dégustateurs en 2016 et à remporter l’or par équipe au concours du forum Nordic Roaster en 2014. En 2020, elle a recu son premier prix, lors de la 12e édition du prix international Sprudgie’s Award, « torréfacteur le plus remarquable ». 

«  En créant Morgon, nous voulions torréfier du café que nous apprécions, en travaillant sur le long terme avec des producteurs que nous connaissons depuis des années, en comprenant les désirs et besoins de chacun. De cette façon, nous pouvons nous assurer que les lots que nous achetons ont tous le potentiel de devenir “notre tasse de café préférée”.  »

About Morgon Coffee Roaters ⟶

We founded Morgon Coffee Roasters in Gothenburg, the summer of 2018. While Morgon is still a relatively young company, our team, consisting of Gabriella Runesson, Christian Gullbrandsson and Markus Vestergaard has nearly 40 years of combined experience of working with coffee.

A motivating force behind coming together to start Morgon was the goal to run it as we would want our own favourite coffee roastery to run. For us that means roasting coffee that we enjoy ourselves, working long term together with producers we’ve known for years. That way we can make sure that we can purchase lots that all have the potential of being our latest favourite cup of coffee, ever. To get there we need to have common goals and an understanding of the wants and needs from both our and the producers side. That’s where things start to get special.

Before coming together to start the roastery we worked together for years. Our combined resume contains everything from previously running a roastery, coffee bars, giving lectures on coffee, training baristas, coffee consulting and competing in most things coffee. Some of those competitions resulted in a bronze in roasting, two silvers in brewing and two gold medals in coffee tasting. On an international stage we’ve managed a top eight semifinalist placement in the World Cup Tasters Championship in 2016 and a team win for gold at the Nordic Roaster forum competition in 2014. In 2020 we had our first prize spotlight for Morgon when we were finalists in the 12th annual international Sprudgie’s award as “Most notable roaster in 2020”. Nominated from an international and public vote as the only Scandinavian coffee roastery among the finalists we were awarded with an “honourable mention” from the deciding jury. After a year like 2020 we could sure need the encouragement and just to get mentioned among the other finalists was such an honour and gave us a sense that we were moving in the right direction.

About Sandra Milena Mora Family ⟶

When Sandra Milena Mora and her husband Hector bought their small farm in 2007, they only produced Caturra. However, a severe leaf rust attack in 2013 nearly destroyed most of their trees. Sandra and Hector are against the use of pesticides and only uses organic fertiliser so they had to try something new. They became early adaptors of the variety Tabi, a leaf rust resistant plant that is a hybrid of the Arabica varietals Bourbon, Typica and the Robusta/Arabica hybrid varietal Timor. It’s this type of dedication and forward thinking that makes us proud to keep working with Sandra and her gorgeous coffee.
