Clean Design, Transparent Coffee Philosophy

From their coffee to their cafés, Heart reflects a Scandinavian ethos: minimalist, modern, and focused on essentials.

This clean aesthetic pairs with their approach to sourcing: direct trade relationships with top-tier farms and a dedication to transparency and traceability in the supply chain. Every bean roasted by Heart is chosen not just for quality, but for its ability to express place, variety, and process with clarity.

Sourcing and Roasting With Purpose

Heart Coffee Roasters sources from renowned farms in Ethiopia, Kenya, Colombia, and Central America, working only with producers who align with their values of sustainability and traceability. Their roasting style is intentionally light, designed to preserve delicate florals, citrus acidity, and complex sweetness. For those new to light roasts, Heart offers a gateway into a more refined, terroir-driven coffee experience. Their beans are ideal for filter methods like pour-over, Chemex, and batch brew—but also make for expressive, silky espressos.
