The Lykke Journals

Welcome to our brew guides, recipes, projects, missions, farms, news and more. If you read or watch them all you might become somewhat of a coffee expert. Not only on how coffee is grown but also on how to best extract an espresso. You will be able to impress your guests with playful recipes and take part in the most intricate conversations about the complexity of an SL-34 bean and the way climate change is affecting the coffee industry.

All in all, there is something for everyone here. Happy reading, or watching, and may the coffee in your cup never run out. And if it does – we can fix that!

Stories

These are stories from our farmers, our projects and other coffee-related (could also be tea...) stories that we deemed important to tell you about. If there is a topic you feel you just need us to cover, hit our chat with a message. We got you!

JOURNAL | The Scout Program & 5-5-5 project in Uganda

Agricultural knowledge gaps and poor farming practices permeate the Western Ugandan region of the Rwenzori Mountains. The Lunar Coffee 5-5-5 project is a contextualised approach to holistic farm/family/and environmental impact via our Coffee Scout program.

JOURNAL | Lykke about ecology and certifications

Within the coffee industry, there is a multitude of certifications to be found. All with varying levels and criteria for farmers to comply with. Lykke Kaffegårdar, therefore, set out to go beyond traditional certifications and instead opt to transparently tell you what we do - with both the successes we have as well as the challenges we face.
