Dear coffee people,

Thank you for another remarkable year. As a coffee roastery, we consider it a true privilege that our coffees find their place in your home, office, or café. This trust inspires us to work with care and heart—continually refining our roasting to honour nature’s beautiful fruits and to bring excitement and joy through every cup.

As the year draws to a close, we would also like to share that a portion of our revenue has been directed to Open Doors, a Christian organisation supporting our brothers and sisters in Nigeria and Congo who are affected by internal conflicts. Congo is also a country of great coffees, and we hope that one day we will have the opportunity to bring coffees from there to you. Coffee can change lives!

In 2025, we were grateful to celebrate these achievements:
🏆Winner of Vegan Ice Cream of the Year, Ice Cream & Chocolate Carnival
🏆Winner of Ice Cream of the Year, Ice Cream & Chocolate Carnival
🏆Finnish Roasters Competition – 2nd Place, Helsinki Coffee Week

May each cup be a small spark of wonder as one year ends and a brighter one begins.

We will reopen on January 7th, and all e-shop orders placed during the holidays will be dispatched from that date 👌

Feliz Navidad! · Hyvää joulua! · Merry Christmas!🎄✨

With Christmas warmth,
Mia, Ivan, Tapio, Carlos, Daniel, Levi, Tanja, David, Luiz, Juan & Maimu

When Craftsmanship Meets Applied Learning ☕️🔭📖🤯

Our pop-up at A Bloc is not only about sharing our values and food craftsmanship. It’s also about collaboration — and this time, we’re proud to be partnering with master’s students from Aalto University’s Sustainable Entrepreneurship programme, and the Entrepreneurial Futures course where they are exploring the future, while understanding the challenges of the present, in the “experiential and place based commerce” industry!

This program explores how physical spaces — cafés, markets, and temporary concepts like pop-ups — can create memory, emotion, and connection that go far beyond the product itself. But instead of learning these ideas from slides or case studies, the students are doing something far more meaningful: They’re learning inside a real environment.

And you know what? We at Cafetoria are learning too and quite a lot!🙌🏻

✨ Today’s the day! ✨
We’ve officially opened our Pop-Up at A Bloc for the following 2 weeks— and already we’re meeting curious new faces asking:
“Who are you?”

Here’s our answer:

We are Cafetoria — a Nordic–Latin specialty coffee roastery with more than 20 years of roasting experience in Finland.
Our roastery lives quietly in Lohja, but our coffees travel: to our cafés in Töölö and Aalto University, to our wholesale partners… and to homes all across Finland through our e-shop. We are not but the way any franchising or big company. Despite the long year we remain a small artisan roastery and quite multicultural for being a team of 9 people coming from Latin America (Peru, Chile and Ecuador), Portugal, Estonia and Finland.

Our journey at Aalto started in March 2020 — yes, right when Covid arrived :)

Why Aalto?
Because our Töölö customers from the Business department encouraged us… and because our founder, Iván, completed his Master’s in Telecommunications here.
So in a way — coming to Aalto felt like coming home.

Five years have passed in a blink.
We’ve watched students arrive with first-day excitement — and later walk away as graduates.
We’ve tested ideas, made mistakes, learned, grown, and created.

Aalto has been a playground for innovation — and proof of that is Gelatoria, our authentic Italian gelato brand.
We began with zero gelato experience, but with decades of flavor development knowledge… and the results?
Four national gelato awards since last year. 🍨⭐️

And it doesn’t stop there.
Our empanadas, freshly baked brioche and other handmade treats are quickly becoming customer favorites.

🕒 Mon–Fri | 8:30–17:30

Come taste coffee, gelato, and a story 20+ years in the making.
We’d love to meet you. 💛

AFTER ADVENT CALENDAR: 🗓️🎁🎄🎉🎊

DAY 29.12 : KENYA AA GILANDA KANGOCHO
Currant | Peach | Red apple

Two days left to celebrate the new 2025. Whether you’re planning preparing shopping or enjoying some outdoor activities this sweet and juicy coffee will elevate your day.

Kangocho is a Kikuyu word meaning “a place with corners,” inspired by the winding paths and sharp turns that traverse the hill from its lower to higher points.

This exceptional Kenyan coffee captivates with vibrant flavors of citrus, wine, currant, and berry, rounded off with a luscious caramel sweetness. Its round body and delightful sweet acidity create a juicy cup. Each sip is a celebration of the vibrant diversity found in every corner of this remarkable hill.

Cultivating Excellence: The Story of Dwight Aguilar (1/2)

As part of our coffee tour in Cusco, Peru, our group of roasters and cuppers from various countries had the privilege of visiting the farm of Dwight Aguilar Masias, a renowned producer who, alongside his wife Dyana Mellado, has twice won the prestigious Cup of Excellence competition (in 2018 and 2021). A welcoming mural and beautiful garden greet visitors at their farm, Nueva Alianza, located in the district of Santa Teresa in the La Convención province. I had heard of Dwight for years but never imagined I would visit him and have one of the most enriching experiences I’ve ever had on a coffee plantation.

While Dwight oversees the cultivation in the field, Dyana manages the business operations. Together, they form a powerful team, transforming their farm into a highly successful venture, offering a variety of coffee beans.

It took me a moment to spot Dwight, who turned out to be a calm, humble, and thoughtful man, still down-to-earth despite his success and recognition. He first led us to his processing plant, where he proudly showed us his drying tables and a unique coffee variety he’s dubbed “Geybon” – a Geisha plant that thrives on his land but resembles Bourbon. Geisha coffee abounds on his farm, and it’s with this variety that Dwight won his two national championships, producing cups with caramel tones and smooth profiles that score over 90 points. Beside the solar dryers stood his depulping machines and a state-of-the-art stainless steel bioreactor, which allows him to experiment with different fermentation methods.
