Sammon - Peruvian dark roast coffee

Sammon - Peruvian dark roast coffee from the Chanchamayo province

Toasted cane sugar • Chocolate • Nutty

This coffee from Chanchamayo, Peru, is produced by many smallholder farmers and has a balanced profile in the typical South American style. It is a much-requested addition to our range of dark roasts, so here it is: smooth, sweet, and full-bodied. Despite the dark roast, you will also find a light acidity.

About the origin of Sammon

Coffee from the Chanchamayo region of Peru is produced by many smallholder farmers and features a balanced profile in the typical South American style. Thanks to the low altitude and the region's unique conditions, the coffee develops a rich flavor profile and a nuanced character.

And what about the name? Here at the roastery, coffee names aren't pulled out of a hat, but are taken from the streets of the Kirjala residential area! Did you know that our roastery was previously located in Kirjala, on Jukolankatu?

Sammon got its name from Sammonkatu – and as it turns out, we’ve just about run out of street names in Kirjala! Jukola, Louhi, Sammon... No matter how creative we get, Kirjala is becoming tapped out. I wonder if the neighboring district has any good street names, or should we invent our own next? Maybe not, but one thing is certain – the coffee is always perfect, whatever the name!
