Populus Coffee Roasters
🇩🇪 Berlin, Germany
Populus is a family business founded by Sari and Henrik Haavisto. They come from Finland, and coffee is part of their DNA. They grew up surrounded by filter coffee.
In 2014, Henrik's work as a journalist took him on a journey to Guatemala and Honduras that changed his life. He discovered the true beauty of specialty coffee: the relationships between people united by the same passion and a shared effort to achieve a common goal. This journey also led to Populus Coffee's first and still longest-standing partnerships, as well as the brand's name, which means “people”. These relationships are what matter most to them in business.
Their Nordic roots are reflected in how they select and roast their coffee, as well as in the way they run Populus. Their company culture is built on transparency, trustworthiness, independence, and minimal hierarchy. These values form the foundation of their collaboration with partners, customers, and their own team members.
