TOLVA ROASTERS
SMALL-BATCH COFFEE

About
Tolva is a small-batch roastery built around one rule: the drum sets the pace. We buy traceable lots directly from growers, roast them weekly in 12-kilo batches, and ship within 48 hours — so the cup you brew tastes like the place it came from.

Reviews
-
MI Marta IbáñezOwner, Café Norte“We switched our house espresso to the Huila lot and regulars noticed the same week. Deliveries land two days after roast, every time.”
-
DO Daniel OseiHead Barista, Mill & Pour“Their dial-in sheets are the most useful I've worked with. The training session paid for itself in a weekend of service.”
-
LF Lucía FerreyraSubscriber since 2024“The Sidamo natural tasted like blueberries without me doing anything special. I stopped buying supermarket coffee entirely.”
-
TA Tomás AguirreOwner, La Vespa Café“Wholesale with actual support — they cup with us every quarter and rotate the menu before it gets stale.”
-
AR Aisha RahmanF&B Manager, Hotel Cardo“Consistency is what we pay for. Forty kilos a month and the roast curve never drifts.”
-
JW Jonas WeberSubscriber since 2023“The Kenya drop in February was the best cup I've brewed at home. The card in the box tells you the farm, the lot, the roast day.”
