Rosters Coffee

Rosters Coffee is a roaster in Arad, Romania, working with coffees from a changing set of origins. The focus is origin lots, mostly light to medium roasts, alongside a house blend of 100% arabica. This page lists what the roaster offers and every coffee links through to the roaster's own shop.

The roaster calls its roasting style balanced: long enough to build sweetness and depth, gentle enough to keep fruit, citrus, spice and floral detail visible in the cup. Coffees come from Colombia, Nicaragua, Brazil, Burundi, Ethiopia and Guatemala, with washed lots next to anaerobic and carbonic maceration ones. Roast levels sit at light and medium, and tasting notes lean toward fruit, caramel, chocolate and citrus. Two examples: Colombia Sidra, washed and light, and Ethiopia Uraga, processed by carbonic maceration.

Rosters Coffee was started by two people who left corporate jobs, building on coffee they drank daily in Cluj and on an interest in rotating origins. The stated aim is 100% arabica with origins the drinker can trace, and the roaster also works with companies through a B2B page. The range runs from the House Blend to single lots such as Guatemala Jalapa and Nicaragua Jinotega, so you can move between a straightforward medium roast and a lighter, fruitier profile.
