Choose Your Coffee with Care

Arvid Nordquist was founded in 1884 with a clear ambition – to offer taste experiences of the highest quality. Today, the family‑owned company is run by the third generation, upholding the same core values where quality and care go hand in hand.

Our coffee is always made from 100% Arabica beans – carefully selected by our buyers and gently roasted in our coffee roastery in Solna. But our care goes far beyond taste. Coffee is part of a larger chain, which is why we nurture long‑term relationships with cooperatives and farm owners. We purchase only coffee certified by either Rainforest Alliance or Fairtrade, and our organic range is also certified by the EU Organic and KRAV. We roast our coffee using biogas and package it in plant‑based material.

For greater taste.

OUR COFFEE

Our coffee is made from 100% Arabica beans, grown at high altitudes where they mature slowly, developing a wide spectrum of flavour nuances, a rich aroma, and a fruity character. Our buyers work closely with selected farms and are constantly seeking the finest beans from around the world through meticulous tasting.

Through long-term partnerships such as our Grown by Women initiative, we contribute to strengthening women’s positions and supporting the development of farms.

ENVIRONMENTALLY CERTIFIED COFFEE ROASTERY

We roast using biogas, a renewable energy source that reduces emissions by 85–96% compared to propane. The production is powered by electricity from wind and hydropower and is environmentally certified according to ISO 14001 and Bra Miljöval.

As a family‑owned company, we carry with us a love of coffee that has been passed down through generations – rooted in a passion for flavour that permeates everything we do.
