POMA® Coffee Research
A coffee research and roasting company based in Copenhagen on a mission to refine coffee production techniques, address industry challenges, and bridge the gap between research and practical application. We collaborate closely with coffee farmers to implement and scale up our findings, aiming to make sustainable practices more accessible and effective.

Pollination Experiment - SL28 x Geisha
We are thrilled to release an experiment where we investigated the influence of cross-varietal pollination on the quality of SL28. Specifically, we examined whether the identity of the pollen donor (SL28/self-pollination vs. Geisha/cross-varietal pollination) could impact sensory attributes and chemical composition of the resulting seeds.
Inside the box, you’ll find two versions of the SL28 variety. The first is self-pollinated version (SL28 x SL28) showcasing a typical profile of this variety with pronounced blackcurrant and fruity notes, while the second one is cross-pollinated with geisha (SL28 x Geisha), producing a coffee with more complex aroma profile, with intense floral, citrus and cardamom.
Release Friday Jun 6, 12.00 (UTC+1).
